Mechanical competition promotes selective listening to receptor inputs to resolve directional dilemmas in neutrophil migration

This study shows neutrophils resolve directional dilemmas by committing to one leading edge late in the decision process, influenced by mechanical stretching and receptor inputs.

Directional reorientation of migrating neutrophils is limited by suppression of receptor input signaling at the cell rear through myosin II activity

Quantitative comparison of principal component analysis and unsupervised deep learning using variational autoencoders for shape analysis of motile cells

This paper compares PCA and VAE-GAN for analyzing cell shape in neutrophils, finding that VAE-GAN more efficiently captures shape variation while maintaining interpretability.
