Epithelial cells migrate as physically coherent collective groups, which is necessary for normal development and is disrupted as cancers progress to become invasive and spread. Collective migration requires communication so that the behaviour of individual cells is properly coordinated. In this project we investigate how the transmission of physical force between cells allows them to communicate; and test how its disruption contributes to cancer invasion.

上皮细胞作为物理上连贯的集体群体迁移，这是正常发育所必需的，并且随着癌症进展而变得侵袭和扩散而被破坏。集体迁移需要沟通，以便适当协调各个细胞的行为。在这个项目中，我们研究了细胞之间的物理力的传递如何使它们进行通信;并测试了它的破坏如何有助于癌症的侵袭。
