The way in which cells coordinate their behaviours during various biological processes,
including morphogenesis, cancer progression and tissue remodelling, largely depends on …

Time-lapse, deep-tissue imaging made possible by advances in intravital microscopy has
demonstrated the importance of tumour cell migration through confining tracks in vivo. These …

Chemical and physical properties of the environment control cell proliferation, differentiation,
or apoptosis in the long term. However, to be able to move and migrate through a complex …

The wound healing assay is used in a range of disciplines to study the coordinated
movement of a cell population. In this technical review, we describe the workflow of the …

Cancer cell migration and invasion are integral components of metastatic disease, which is
the major cause of death in cancer patients. Cancer cells can disseminate and migrate via …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

Collective cell migration results from the establishment and maintenance of collective
polarization, mechanocoupling, and cytoskeletal kinetics. The guidance of collective cell …

Epithelial tissues (epithelia) remove excess cells through extrusion, preventing the
accumulation of unnecessary or pathological cells. The extrusion process can be triggered …

A fundamental feature of multicellular organisms is their ability to self-repair wounds through
the movement of epithelial cells into the damaged area. This collective cellular movement is …

The directed migration of cell collectives is essential in various physiological processes,
such as epiboly, intestinal epithelial turnover, and convergent extension during …
