It is still used today to study many types of cell migration, including chemotaxis, although the original design has been modified and improved upon since the system was first described in 1962.

Here, we aim to define the cellular and molecular basis of collective migration using the best-studied examples, and discriminate it from other similar but mechanistically distinct types of cell ...

Researchers find cell migration doesn't only rely on generating force. A professor of mechanical engineering and materials science found that groups of cells moved faster with lower force when ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from invading tissues.

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at ...
