Cell-Substrate Interactions Feedback to Direct Cell Migration along or against Morphological Polarization
In response to external stimuli, cells polarize morphologically into teardrop shapes prior to moving in the direction of their blunt leading edge through lamellipodia extension and retraction of the rear tip. This textbook description of cell migration implies that the initial polarization sets the direction of cell migration. Using microfabrication techniques to control cell morphologies and t...
متن کاملLeukocyte polarization in cell migration and immune interactions.
Cell migration plays a key role in a wide variety of biological phenomena. This process is particularly important for leukocyte function and the inflammatory response. Prior to migration leukocytes undergo polarization, with the formation of a lamellipodium at the leading edge and a uropod at the trailing edge. This cell shape allows them to convert cytoskeletal forces into net cell-body displa...
متن کاملDirectional Sensing Orients Cell Migration and Polarization
Cell migration is a complex process that requires the coordinated regulation of the cytoskeleton and cell adhesion. Actin polymerization at the cell cortex generates filaments that produce pseudopods and other membrane extensions that provide forward drive (34). In unstimulated Dictyostelium cells, pseudopods are formed at random positions independently of receptors and G proteins (FIGURE 1). T...

متن کاملCollagen attachment to the substrate controls cell clustering through migration.
Cell clustering and scattering play important roles in cancer progression and tissue engineering. While the extracellular matrix (ECM) is known to control cell clustering, much of the quantitative work has focused on the analysis of clustering between cells with strong cell-cell junctions. Much less is known about how the ECM regulates cells with weak cell-cell contact. Clustering characteristi...
