Rules of Contact Inhibition of Locomotion for Cell-pairs Migrating on Aligned and Suspended Nanofibers
Contact inhibition of locomotion (CIL), a migratory mechanism, first introduced by Abercrombie and Heaysman in 1953 is now a fundamental driving force in developmental, repair and disease biology. Much of what we know of CIL stems from studies done on 2D substrates which are unable to provide the …

Physical minimal models of amoeboid cell motility
Cell locomotion plays an important role in many biological processes such as the immune system, embryonic development, or cancer metastasis. In these examples, cells interact with their environments or coordinate their movements with other cells, creating collective behavior. In this thesis, we …
