Tractions and stress fibers control cell shape and rearrangements in collective cell migration
Aashrith Saraswathibhatla, Jacob Notbohm
Key to collective cell migration is the ability of cells to rearrange their position with respect to their neighbors. Recent theory and experiments demonstrated that cellular rearr…
