The paper investigates how electric and mechanical signals interact in cell migration, showing electric fields can override mechanical cues and proposes a platform to predict these interactions.

The paper shows that histone serotonylation, induced by mesoderm stiffening through Tgm2 nuclear translocation, is essential for initiating collective neural crest cell migration in vivo.

This study identifies a mechanical signal, Piezo1-Yap1, that coordinates cell state transitions during regeneration by translating tissue stiffness into regenerative competence.

This study shows that increased Lamin A expression reduces nuclear deformability and impairs apical nuclear migration in zebrafish retinal neuroepithelium.

The paper shows MMP28 from placodal cells promotes neural crest EMT and migration by entering the nucleus of neural crest cells in Xenopus.

This study identifies RanBP1 as essential for directed migration of neural crest cells by establishing front-to-rear polarity and chemotaxis.

The paper shows endogenous electric fields guide neural crest cell migration in vivo through electrotaxis, mediated by Vsp1 and mechanoelectrical feedback.

The paper shows Connexin43 regulates N-cadherin transcription during collective cell migration in neural crest cells, independent of gap junctions.
