Dynamic tensile forces drive collective cell migration through three-dimensional extracellular matrices
Collective cell migration drives tissue remodeling during development, wound repair, and metastatic invasion. The physical mechanisms by which cells move cohesively through dense three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) remain incompletely understood. Here, we show directly that migration of multicellular cohorts through collagenous matrices occurs via a dynamic pulling mechanism, the ...
متن کاملMultiscale Cues Drive Collective Cell Migration
To investigate complex biophysical relationships driving directed cell migration, we developed a biomimetic platform that allows perturbation of microscale geometric constraints with concomitant nanoscale contact guidance architectures. This permits us to elucidate the influence, and parse out the relative contribution, of multiscale features, and define how these physical inputs are jointly pr...
متن کاملPhysical forces during collective cell migration
Fundamental biological processes including morphogenesis, tissue repair and tumour metastasis require collective cell motions1–3, and to drive these motions cells exert traction forces on their surroundings4. Current understanding emphasizes that these traction forces arise mainly in ‘leader cells’ at the front edge of the advancing cell sheet5–9. Our data are contrary to that assumption and sh...
متن کاملTensile mechanical properties of three-dimensional type I collagen extracellular matrices with varied microstructure.
The importance and priority of specific micro-structural and mechanical design parameters must be established to effectively engineer scaffolds (biomaterials) that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment of cells and have clinical applications as tissue substitutes. In this study, three-dimensional (3-D) matrices were prepared from type I collagen, the predominant compositional and str...
متن کاملComputational model for cell migration in three-dimensional matrices.
Although computational models for cell migration on two-dimensional (2D) substrata have described how various molecular and cellular properties and physiochemical processes are integrated to accomplish cell locomotion, the same issues, along with certain new ones, might contribute differently to a model for migration within three-dimensional (3D) matrices. To address this more complicated situa...
