Distinct Speed and Direction Memories of Migrating Dendritic Cells Diversify Their Search Strategies
M. Reza Shaebani, Matthieu Piel, Franziska Lautenschläger
Migrating cells exhibit various motility patterns, resulting from different migration mechanisms, cell properties, or cell-environment interactions. The complexity of cell dynamics…
A statistical-inference approach to reconstruct inter-cellular interactions in cell-migration experiments
Elena Agliari, Pablo J. Sáez, Adriano Barra +3
Migration of cells can be characterized by two, prototypical types of motion: individual and collective migration. We propose a statistical-inference approach designed to detect th…
Geometric friction directs cell migration
M. Le Berre, Yan-Jun Liu, J. Hu +5
In the absence of environmental cues, a migrating cell performs an isotropic random motion. Recently, the breaking of this isotropy has been observed when cells move in the presenc…
Spontaneous contractility--mediated cortical flow generates cell migration in 3-dimensional environments
R. J. Hawkins, R. Poincloux, O. Bénichou +3
We present a generic model of cell motility generated by acto-myosin contraction of the cell cortex. We identify analytically dynamical instabilities of the cortex and show that th…
Rebuilding cytoskeleton roads: Active-transport-induced polarization of cells
Rhoda J. Hawkins, Olivier Benichou, Matthieu Piel +1
Many cellular processes require a polarization axis which generally initially emerges as an inhomogeneous distribution of molecular markers in the cell. We present a simple analyti…
Pushing off the walls: a mechanism of cell motility in confinement
R. J. Hawkins, M. Piel, G. Faure-Andre +4
We propose a novel mechanism of cell motility, which relies on the coupling of actin polymerization at the cell membrane to geometric confinement. We consider a polymerizing viscoe…
