Cells measure a vast variety of signals, from their environment's stiffness to chemical
concentrations and gradients; physical principles strongly limit how accurately they can do …

Eukaryotic cells can polarize and migrate in response to electric fields via “galvanotaxis,”
which aids wound healing. Experimental evidence suggests cells sense electric fields via …

When a single cell senses a chemical gradient and chemotaxes, stochastic receptor–ligand
binding can be a fundamental limit to the cell's accuracy. For clusters of cells responding to …

When cells measure concentrations of chemical signals, they may average multiple
measurements over time in order to reduce noise in their measurements. However, when …

Eukaryotic cells are able to sense chemical gradients in a wide range of environments. We
show that, if a cell is exposed to a highly variable environment, it may gain chemotactic …

Clusters of cells can work together in order to follow a signal gradient, chemotaxing even
when single cells do not. Cells in different regions of collectively migrating neural crest …

Collective response to external directional cues like electric fields plays a pivotal role in
processes such as tissue development, regeneration, and wound healing. In this study we …

Chemotaxis, integrates diverse intra-and inter-cellular molecular processes into a
purposeful patho-physiological response; the operatic rules of which, remain speculative …

Eukaryotic cells sense molecular gradients by measuring spatial concentration variation
through the difference in the number of occupied receptors to which molecules can bind …

Galvanotaxis--the migration of cells towards an electric field--is a natural phenomenon
prevalent during many biological processes such as wound healing and embryogenesis …
