Many cells in our body migrate - 'good' examples are wound healing, embryogenesis and immune response; 'bad' example is metastasis. Migration starts with leading edge protrusion, which is enabled by branching growth of actin network and resisted by...

Individual and collective cell polarity has fascinated mathematical modelers for a long time. Recently, a more subtle type of symmetry breaking started to attract attention of experimentalists and theorists alike - emergence of chirality in single...

Cell migration is a fundamentally important phenomenon underlying wound healing, tissue development, immune response and cancer metastasis. Understanding basic physics of the cell migration presented a great challenge until, in the last three decades...
