I have a new paper out: Communication through autoattractants can enhance and limit collective migration of immune cells journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol... We show how complex interactions emerge around a secreted attractant, and you can play with the model online: chemotaxis.org/autoattracta...

How do epithelial cells migrate collectively through dense tissues? This review shows that coordinated protrusion, adhesion, and force transmission allow groups of cells to move as a coherent unit during development and disease. Cheung; Horne-Badovinac bsky.app/profile/epim...

Hi! I’m @vitoryang.bsky.social, a PhD candidate studying how cells migrate collectively during development. My work focuses on cytoskeleton dynamics and Rho GTPase signalling, using Drosophila border cells as a genetically tractable in vivo model.

Thanks to the labs and scientists behind these studies for advancing our understanding of invasive epithelial migration, actomyosin regulation, and Rho signaling. @vitoryang.bsky.social Cristian Marchant @polarityi3s.bsky.social Lab
