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

This study shows that cell migration direction (durotaxis) can be reversed by culturing cells in soft 3D environments, revealing it is influenced by culture conditions rather than being intrinsic.

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.

This study investigates how mechanical and chemical cues influence the migration of Cajal-Retzius cells in the developing neocortex, showing that mechanical properties and route stiffness affect their distribution.
