Collective Epithelial Cell Migration in vitro Driven by Mechanical and Chemical Cues

Cells in vivo respond to chemical and mechanical cues in the environment. In fact, it is the resulting migration of cells as a cohesive group that underlies embryonic morphogenesis, wound repair and cancer tumour development and invasion. Techniques have been developed to investigate chemotaxis, hap...
