Directional cell migration normally relies on a variety of external signals, such as chemical,
mechanical, or electrical, which instruct cells in which direction to move. Many of the major …

Cell migration is essential in numerous living processes, including embryonic development,
wound healing, immune responses, and cancer metastasis. From individual cells to …

Cells have evolved multiple mechanisms to apprehend and adapt finely to their
environment. Here we report a new cellular ability, which we term “curvotaxis” that enables …

A swarm of simple active particles confined in a flexible scaffold is a promising system to
make mobile and deformable superstructures. These soft structures can perform tasks that …

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

Despite significant achievements in the understanding and treatment of cancer, it remains a
major burden. Traditional therapeutic approaches based on the 'one-size-fits-all'paradigm …

The function of most immune cells depends on their ability to migrate through complex
microenvironments, either randomly to patrol for the presence of antigens or directionally to …

The increasing demand for organ replacements in a growing world with an aging population
as well as the loss of tissues and organs due to congenital defects, trauma and diseases has …

Migration of single adherent cells is frequently observed in the developing and adult
organism and has been the subject of many studies. Yet, while elegant work has elucidated …

To achieve control over naturally diffusive, out-of-equilibrium systems composed of self-
propelled particles, such as cells or self-phoretic colloids, is a long-standing challenge in …
