A minimal physical model of adhesion-dependent protrusion explains confined haptotaxis and oscillatory cell migration

Jeevan Kumar Papaganti, Jonathan E. Ron, Shubhadeep Sadhukhan, Isabela Corina Fortunato, Steffen Grosser, Ushasi Roy, Raimon Sunyer, Xavier Trepat, Nir S. Gov

This paper develops a minimal physical model to explain haptotaxis and oscillatory cell migration by linking adhesion strength to protrusive actin activity.

Single cell migration along and against confined haptotactic gradients

Isabela Corina Fortunato, David B. Brückner, Steffen Grosser, Rohit Nautiyal, Leone Rossetti, Miquel Bosch Padrós, Jonel Trebicka, Pere Roca‐Cusachs, Raimon Sunyer, Édouard Hannezo, Xavier Trepat

This study shows cells exhibit complex migration patterns along haptotactic gradients, including oscillations and directed movement, and develops a biophysical model to explain these behaviors.
