However, rather than by directed migration, intercalation is driven by a coordinated series of cell–neighbour exchange events that can be autonomously controlled by myosin II constriction of ...

Researchers find cell migration doesn't only rely on generating force. A professor of mechanical engineering and materials science found that groups of cells moved faster with lower force when ...

The CIM-Plate 16 provides a kinetic cell-response profile throughout an experiment, detailing the onset and rate of invasion and migration. This information can help researchers understand ...

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at ...
