Single and collective cell migration are fundamental processes critical for physiological
phenomena ranging from embryonic development and immune response to wound healing …

The importance of physical forces in the morphogenesis, homeostatic function, and
pathological dysfunction of multicellular tissues is being increasingly characterized, both …

Coordinated cellular movements are key processes in tissue morphogenesis. Using a cell-
based modeling approach we study the dynamics of epithelial layers lining surfaces with …

Cell migration in confining physiological environments relies on the concerted dynamics of
several cellular components, including protrusions, adhesions with the environment, and the …

Among the physicochemical cues in the cellular microenvironment that orchestrate cell
processes, the different levels of curvature in the extracellular matrix and intrinsic to the …

Collective cell migration, whereby cells adhere to form multi-cellular clusters that move as a
single entity, play an important role in numerous biological processes, such as during …

Clustering of cells is an essential component of many biological processes from tissue
formation to cancer metastasis. We develop a minimal, Vicsek-based model of cellular …

Organ morphogenesis is multifaceted, multiscale, and fundamentally a robust process.
Despite the complex and dynamic nature of embryonic development, organs are built with …

Quantitative studies of mesenchymal cell motion are important to elucidate cytoskeleton
function and mechanisms of cell migration. To this end, confinement of cell motion to one …
