Anomalous dynamics of cell migration.
Cell movement--for example, during embryogenesis or tumor metastasis--is a complex dynamical process resulting from an intricate interplay of multiple components of the cellular migration machinery. At first sight, the paths of migrating cells resemble those of thermally driven Brownian particles. However, cell migration is an active biological process putting a characterization in terms of nor...
متن کاملAirway Epithelial Cell Migration Dynamics
Cell spreading and migration associated with the expression of the 92-kD gelatinase (matrix metalloproteinase 9 or MMP-9) are important mechanisms involved in the repair of the respiratory epithelium. We investigated the location of MMP-9 and its potential role in migrating human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC). In vivo and in vitro, MMP-9 accumulated in migrating HBEC located at the leading ...
متن کاملThe fluid dynamics of collective cell migration
Budding yeast do the Cdc42 two-step T wo different proteins sequentially activate Cdc42 to ensure yeast form a bud at the right place, Kang et al. reveal. Haploid S. cerevisiae cells form new buds immediately adjacent to the division site from the previous cell cycle. The new bud's position is determined by a protein complex called the axial landmark, which assembles at the mother–bud neck of y...
متن کاملGlass-like dynamics of collective cell migration.
Collective cell migration in tissues occurs throughout embryonic development, during wound healing, and in cancerous tumor invasion, yet most detailed knowledge of cell migration comes from single-cell studies. As single cells migrate, the shape of the cell body fluctuates dramatically through cyclic processes of extension, adhesion, and retraction, accompanied by erratic changes in migration d...
متن کاملAnomalous dynamics of translocation.
We study the dynamics of the passage of a polymer through a membrane pore (translocation), focusing on the scaling properties with the number of monomers N. The natural coordinate for translocation is the number of monomers on one side of the hole at a given time. Commonly used models that assume Brownian dynamics for this variable predict a mean (unforced) passage time tau that scales as N2, e...
