Propagation dynamics of electrotactic motility in large epithelial cell sheets

Summary: Directional migration initiated at the wound edge leads epithelia to migrate in wound healing. How such coherent migration is achieved is not well understood. Here, we used electric fields to induce robust migration of sheets of human keratinocytes and developed an in silico model to charac...
