Active fluids exhibit spontaneous flows with complex spatiotemporal structure, which have
been observed in bacterial suspensions, sperm cells, cytoskeletal suspensions, self …

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 …

Abstract Development, regeneration and cancer involve drastic transitions in tissue
morphology. In analogy with the behaviour of inert fluids, some of these transitions have …

A landmark of turbulence is the emergence of universal scaling laws, such as Kolmogorov's
E (q)~ q− 5∕ 3 scaling of the kinetic energy spectrum of inertial turbulence with the …

We investigate the large length and long time scales collective flows and structural
rearrangements within in vitro human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) cultures. Activity …

We review recent evidence showing that cell and tissue dynamics are governed by
mesoscale physical principles. These principles can be understood in terms of simple state …

Communities of epithelial cells communicate through intercellular interactions, allowing
them to coordinate their motility, which plays a key role in homeostasis, morphogenesis and …

Collective cell migration offers a rich field of study for non-equilibrium physics and cellular
biology, revealing phenomena such as glassy dynamics, pattern formation and active …

Live tissues can self‐organize and be described as active materials composed of cells that
generate active stresses through continuous injection of energy. In vitro reconstituted …

Collective cell migration contributes to embryogenesis, wound healing and tumour
metastasis. Cell monolayer migration experiments help in understanding what determines …
