Propagating acoustic waves on a culture substrate regulate the directional collective cell migration

Abstract Collective cell migration plays a critical role in physiological and pathological processes such as development, wound healing, and metastasis. Numerous studies have demonstrated how various types of chemical, mechanical, and electrical cues dictate the collective migratory behaviors of cel...
