Photoactivatable substrates show diverse phenotypes of leader cells in collective migration when moving along different extracellular matrix proteins.

Abstract excerpt

In cancer metastasis, collectively migrating clusters are discriminated into leader and follower cells that move through extracellular matrices (ECMs) with different characteristics. The impact of changes in ECM protein types on leader cells and migrating clusters is unknown. To address this, we investigated the response of leader cells and migrating clusters upon moving from one ECM protein to another using a...
