    The analytical solution to the migration of an epithelial monolayer with a circular spreading front and its implications in the gap closure process

    The coordinated behaviors of epithelial cells are widely observed in tissue development, such as re-epithelialization, tumor growth, and morphogenesis. In these processes, cells either migrate collectively or ...

    Active cell-matrix coupling regulates cellular force landscapes of cohesive epithelial monolayers

    Epithelial cells can assemble into cohesive monolayers with rich morphologies on substrates due to competition between elastic, edge, and interfacial effects. Here we present a molecularly based thermodynamic ...
