05.23 2024NKU Team’s Photolithographic Micropatterning Manipulation Reveals Collective Cell Radial Ordered Migration
Collective cells are an important active mattersystem, and their ordered migration plays a key role in life processes such as embryonic development, tissue morphogenesis, and cancer invasion. Under normal physiological conditions, collective cells are often in a confined spatial environment, which regulate the dynamic spatiotemporal evolution of collective cell behavior from thetop down, thusaffectingthe differentiation and fate of cell tissues. Nowadays, emerging technologies represented by pho
