Cell-substrate adhesion is a critical aspect of many forms of cell migration. Cell adhesion to
an extracellular matrix (ECM) generates traction forces necessary for efficient migration. One …

Many cells are small and rounded on soft extracellular matrices (ECM), elongated on stiffer
ECMs, and flattened on hard ECMs. Cells also migrate up stiffness gradients (durotaxis) …

Amoeboid cells often migrate using pseudopods, which are membrane protrusions that
grow, bifurcate, and retract dynamically, resulting in a net cell displacement. Many cells …

Among the eukaryotic cells that navigate through fully developed metazoan tissues,
protozoans from the Apicomplexa phylum have evolved motile developmental stages that …

细胞膜是细胞与外部环境进行物质与能量交换的界面, 是调节细胞正常生命活动的重要结构基础
. 细胞膜上力敏感受体可通过力学作用方式参与并影响细胞的力信号转导等功能 …

Lymphocytes have been described to perform different motility patterns such as Brownian
random walks, persistent random walks, and Lévy walks. Depending on the conditions, such …

The dynamic interplay between cell adhesion and protrusion is a critical determinant of
many forms of cell motility. When modeling cell spreading on adhesive surfaces, traditional …

The cytoplasm of a living cell is a dynamic environment through which intracellular
components must move and mix. In motile, rapidly deforming cells such as human …

Migratory cells are known to adapt to environments that contain wide-ranging levels of
chemoattractant. Although biochemical models of adaptation have been previously …

Orchestration of cell migration is essential for development, tissue regeneration, and the
immune response. This dynamic process integrates adhesion, signaling, and cytoskeletal …
