Chemotaxis of Drosophila border cells is modulated by tissue geometry through dispersion of chemoattractants

Summary: Migratory cells respond to graded concentrations of diffusible chemoattractants in vitro, but how complex tissue geometries in vivo impact chemotaxis is poorly understood. To address this, we studied the Drosophila border cells. Live-imaged border cells varied in their chemotactic migration...
