In mammals, hair follicles emerge during embryonic development, forming geometric patterns that vary from one species to ...

Most of the cells in our bodies don't move—they stay where they're supposed to in service to our organs and biological systems. But aggressive cancer cells behave differently, spreading and ultimately ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington ...
