During embryonic development, tissues undergo major rearrangements that lead to germ
layer positioning, patterning, and organ morphogenesis. Often these morphogenetic …

In this article, we review physics-based models of collective cell motility. We discuss a range
of techniques at different scales, ranging from models that represent cells as simple self …

The directed migration of cell collectives is a driving force of embryogenesis,,. The
predominant view in the field is that cells in embryos navigate along pre-patterned …

Chemokines and their receptors are key mediators of the inflammatory process regulating
leukocyte extravasation and directional migration into inflamed and infected tissues. The …

Swarming or collective motion of living entities is one of the most common and spectacular
manifestations of living systems that have been extensively studied in recent years. A …

Cell polarization is a key step in the migration, development, and organization of eukaryotic
cells, both at the single cell and multicellular level. Research on the mechanisms that give …

Long-distance cell migration is an important feature of embryonic development, adult
morphogenesis and cancer, yet the mechanisms that drive subpopulations of cells to distinct …

Collective behaviors require coordination among a group of individuals. As a result,
individuals that are too phenotypically different from the rest of the group can be left out …

Automated microscopy has given researchers access to great amounts of live cell imaging
data from in vitro and in vivo experiments. Much focus has been put on extracting cell tracks …

The collective migration of cells is fundamental to epithelial biology. One of the hallmarks of
collective behavior in migrating cohesive epithelial cell sheets is the emergence of so called …
