Biophysical models of chemotaxis
A collaborative paper with Professor Mugler’s group at Purdue Physics regarding collective and individual cell migrations induced by chemical gradient is published at Physical Review Letters. Emergent versus Individual-Based Multicellular Chemotaxis Julien Varennes, Sean Fancher, Bumsoo Han, and Andrew Mugler Abstract Multicellular chemotaxis can occur via individually chemotaxing cells that are mechanically coupled. Alternatively, it…

Video Clip: En Masse Migration of Fibroblasts
This videoclip shows the deformation of collagen matrix (left, bright fields) and migration of fibroblasts on the matrix (right, fluorescence micrographs). This videoclip illustrate that, when a large number of fibroblasts migrate all together (i.e., en masse), cells can collectively deform the matrices. Fibroblasts are seeded on the left half of each image. The matrix…
