Collective cell migration is a key driver of embryonic development, wound healing, and
some types of cancer invasion. Here, we provide a physical perspective of the mechanisms …

Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic cell population that migrate collectively to
various locations throughout the embryo to contribute a number of cell types to several …

Living cells actively migrate in their environment to perform key biological functions—from
unicellular organisms looking for food to single cells such as fibroblasts, leukocytes or …

The migratory dynamics of cells in physiological processes, ranging from wound healing to
cancer metastasis, rely on contact-mediated cell–cell interactions. These interactions play a …

Investigation of energy mechanisms at the collective cell scale is a challenge for
understanding various biological processes, such as embryonic development and tumor …

The multicellular organization of diverse systems, including embryos, intestines, and tumors
relies on coordinated cell migration in curved environments. In these settings, cells establish …

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

Many complex systems, ranging from migrating cells to animal groups, exhibit stochastic
dynamics described by the underdamped Langevin equation. Inferring such an equation of …

Cell migration and mechanics are tightly regulated by the integrated activities of the various
cytoskeletal networks. In cancer cells, cytoskeletal modulations have been implicated in the …

Collective cell movement, characterized by multiple cells that are in contact for substantial
periods of time and undergo correlated motion, plays a central role in cancer and …
