Single-Cell Migration in Complex Microenvironments: Mechanics and Signaling Dynamics
Cells are highly dynamic and mechanical automata powered by molecular motors that respond to external cues. Intracellular signaling pathways, either chemical or mechanical, can be activated and spatially coordinated to induce polarized cell states and directional migration. Physiologically, cells na...
