Competing chemical gradients change chemotactic dynamics and cell distribution
Emiliano Perez Ipiña, Brian A. Camley
Cells are constantly exposed to diverse stimuli-chemical, mechanical, or electrical-that guide their movement. In physiological conditions, these signals often overlap, as seen dur…
Cell mechanics, environmental geometry, and cell polarity control cell-cell collision outcomes
Yongtian Luo, Amrinder S. Nain, Brian A. Camley
Interactions between crawling cells, which are essential for many biological processes, can be quantified by measuring cell-cell collisions. Conventionally, experiments of cell-cel…
Controlling tissue size by active fracture
Wei Wang, Brian A. Camley
Groups of cells, including clusters of cancerous cells, multicellular organisms, and developing organs, may both grow and break apart. What physical factors control these fractures…
Physical limits to membrane curvature sensing by a single protein
Indrajit Badvaram, Brian A. Camley
Membrane curvature sensing is essential for a diverse range of biological processes. Recent experiments have revealed that a single nanometer-sized septin protein can distinguish b…
Physical limits on galvanotaxis
Ifunanya Nwogbaga, A Hyun Kim, Brian A. Camley
Eukaryotic cells can polarize and migrate in response to electric fields via "galvanotaxis," which aids wound healing. Experimental evidence suggests cells sense electric fields vi…
Self-propelled deformable particle model for keratocyte galvanotaxis
Ifunanya Nwogbaga, Brian A. Camley
During wound healing, fish keratocyte cells undergo galvanotaxis where they follow a wound-induced electric field. In addition to their stereotypical persistent motion, keratocytes…
