Quantifying forces in cell biology
Cells exert, sense, and respond to physical forces through an astounding diversity of mechanisms.
Here we review recently developed tools to quantify the forces generated by cells. We …

Collective cell guidance by cooperative intercellular forces
Cells comprising a tissue migrate as part of a collective. How collective processes are
coordinated over large multi-cellular assemblies has remained unclear, however, because …

[HTML][HTML] Cell migration
Cell migration is fundamental to establishing and maintaining the proper organization of
multicellular organisms. Morphogenesis can be viewed as a consequence, in part, of cell …

[HTML][HTML] Physical forces during collective cell migration
Fundamental biological processes including morphogenesis, tissue repair and tumour
metastasis require collective cell motions 1 , 2 , 3 , and to drive these motions cells exert traction …

Universal physical responses to stretch in the living cell
With every beat of the heart, inflation of the lung or peristalsis of the gut, cell types of diverse
function are subjected to substantial stretch. Stretch is a potent stimulus for growth, …

A mechanically active heterotypic E-cadherin/N-cadherin adhesion enables fibroblasts to drive cancer cell invasion
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote tumour invasion and metastasis. We show
that CAFs exert a physical force on cancer cells that enables their collective invasion. Force …

Rethinking organoid technology through bioengineering
In recent years considerable progress has been made in the development of faithful procedures
for the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). An important step in this …

Mechanical regulation of a molecular clutch defines force transmission and transduction in response to matrix rigidity
Cell function depends on tissue rigidity, which cells probe by applying and transmitting forces
to their extracellular matrix, and then transducing them into biochemical signals. Here we …

Mechanical waves during tissue expansion
The processes by which an organism develops its shape and heals wounds involve expansion
of a monolayer sheet of cells. The mechanism underpinning this epithelial expansion …

Physical models of collective cell migration
Collective cell migration is a key driver of embryonic development, wound healing, and
some types of cancer invasion. Here, we provide a physical perspective of the mechanisms …
