Multicellular density fluctuations in epithelial monolayers.
Changes in cell size often accompany multicellular motion in tissue, and cell number density is known to strongly influence collective migration in monolayers. Density fluctuations in other forms of active matter have been explored extensively, but not the potential role of density fluctuations in collective cell migration. Here we investigate collective motion in cell monolayers, focusing on t...
متن کاملCell Volume Fluctuations in MDCK Monolayers.
Cells moving collectively in tissues constitute a form of active matter, in which collective motion depends strongly on driven fluctuations at the single-cell scale. Fluctuations in cell area and number density are often seen in monolayers, yet their role in collective migration is not known. Here we study density fluctuations at the single- and multicell level, finding that single-cell volumes...
متن کاملCollective migration of epithelial monolayers
Recent wound healing assays using monoloayers of epithelial cells have observed highly correlated, complex cell motions that persist well beyond the wound border. Here, I use the gross dynamical behavior of a single crawling cell with a simple model for cell-cell interactions to explain the migratory dynamics and long-range correlations that occurs in epithelial monolayers. Three reasonable phy...
متن کاملDensity Fluctuations in Traffic Flow
Density fluctuations in traffic current are studied by computer simulations using the deterministic coupled map lattice model on a closed single-lane circuit. By calculating a power spectral density of temporal density fluctuations at a local section, we find a power-law behavior, ∼ 1/f, on the frequency f , in non-congested flow phase. The distribution of the headway distance h also shows the ...
متن کاملExtracting primordial density fluctuations
The combination of detections of anisotropy in cosmic microwave background radiation and observations of the large-scale distribution of galaxies probes the primordial density fluctuations of the universe on spatial scales varying by three orders of magnitude. These data are found to be inconsistent with the predictions of several popular cosmological models. Agreement between the data and the ...
