Pattern formation along signaling gradients driven by active droplet behaviour of cell groups

H. Z. Ford, G. L. Celora, E. R. Westbrook, M. P. Dalwadi, B. J. Walker, H. Baumann, C. J. Weijer, P. Pearce, J. R. Chubb

The paper shows that Dictyostelium cells form swarms that behave like active droplets, leading to clump deposition and differentiation through a 'musical chairs' mechanism.

Chemotaxis overrides Barotaxis during Directional Decision-Making in Dictyostelium discoideum

C. J. Weijer, Y. Belotti, D. McGloin

This study shows that Dictyostelium discoideum cells prioritize chemotaxis over barotaxis during directional decisions in microchannels, with a fixed force threshold governing pseudopod retraction.

Active Vertex Model for Cell-Resolution Description of Epithelial Tissue Mechanics

D. L. Barton, S. Henkes, C. J. Weijer, R. Sknepnek

The paper introduces an Active Vertex Model to simulate epithelial tissue mechanics at the cell level, capturing dynamic behaviors and tissue rearrangements.
