Optogenetic generation of leader cells reveals a force-velocity relation for collective cell migration

L. Rossetti, S. Grosser, J. F. Abenza, L. Valon, P. Roca-Cusachs, R. Alert, X. Trepat

The paper uses optogenetic Rac1 activation to generate leader cells and shows that collective cell migration requires global mechanical organization rather than autonomous leader action.

Spindle reorientation in response to mechanical stress is an emergent property of the spindle positioning mechanisms

M. Kelkar, P. Bohec, M. Smith, V. Sreenivasan, A. Lisica, L. Valon, E. Ferber, B. Baum, G. Salbreux, G. Charras

The paper investigates how mitotic spindles reorient in response to mechanical stress and finds that spindle rotation emerges from interactions between positioning machinery and cortical tension.

Stick-slip dynamics of cell adhesion triggers spontaneous symmetry breaking and directional migration

K. Hennig, I. Wang, P. Moreau, L. Valon, S. De Beco, M. Coppey, Y. Miroshnikova, C. Albiges Rizo, C. Favard, R. Voituriez, m. Balland

Cells break symmetry through mechanical instabilities causing stochastic adhesion detachment, initiating migration without pre-established polarity.
