Motility-based cell sorting by planar cell chromatography.
We report here a new methodology for sorting mammalian cells based on their intrinsic motility on planar substrates, independent of chemoattractants and external fields. This biological analogue of thin layer chromatography consists of arrays of asymmetric adhesive islands on tissue culture dishes that rectify the random movement of cells and direct their migration in a specific direction. We d...
متن کاملCell sorting based on motility differences.
Self-propelled particles are used to simulate cell aggregates in a model considering homogeneous adhesion forces between cells and using only motility differences as segregation drivers. The tendency of cells to follow their neighbors is also included in the formulation. Three model variants are explored, and the conditions on which motility differences may produce segregation are mapped in par...
متن کاملA kinetic mechanism for cell sorting based on local variations in cell motility.
Our current understanding of cell sorting relies on physical difference, either in the interfacial properties or motile force, between cell types. But is such asymmetry a prerequisite for cell sorting? We test this using a minimal model in which the two cell populations are identical with respect to their physical properties and differences in motility arise solely from how cells interact with ...
متن کاملCell sorting by differential cell motility: a model for pattern formation in Dictyostelium.
In the slug stage of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, prespore cells and four types of prestalk cells show a well-defined spatial distribution in a migrating slug. We have developed a continuous mathematical model for the distribution pattern of these cell types based on the balance of force in individual cells. In the model, cell types are assumed to have different properties ...
متن کاملIntuitive, image-based cell sorting using optofluidic cell sorting.
We present a microfluidic cell-sorting device which augments microscopy with the capability to perform facile image-based cell sorting. This combination enables intuitive, complex phenotype sorting based on spatio-temporal fluorescence or cell morphology. The microfluidic device contains a microwell array that can be passively loaded with mammalian cells via sedimentation and can be subsequentl...
