The Role of Cell-Cell Adhesion in the Formation of Multicellular Sprouts

A. Szabó, A. Czirók (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Collective cell motility and its guidance via cell-cell contacts is instrumental in several morphogenetic and pathological processes such as vasculogenesis or tumor growth. Multicellular sprout elongation, one of the simplest cases of collective motility, depends on a continuous supply of cells streaming along the sprout towards its tip. The phenomenon is often explained as leader cells pulling the rest of the sprout forward via cell-cell adhesion. Building on an empirically demonstrated...
