For #CellMigration lovers
How do cells decide when facing a symmetric junction?
The membrane oscillates exploring both directions until one arm wins.
TLDR: this depends on the actin cytoskeleton & cancer cells decide faster than healthy cells

Emergent seesaw oscillations during cellular directional decision-making - Nature Physics

Cell motion along linear confinements is deterministic. Now a model predicts deterministic oscillations in cellular polarization at a Y junction in a set-up with adhesive patterns.

Last week @Martina_Alamo_R finished her internship @ the @cellcommlab, and left Hamburg.
Now she is back home @LabYuseff 🇨🇱 to finish her #PhD thesis.
Good luck Marti, we already miss you (and your experiments of 300 coverslips 😅 support pic 👇🏼)

Hot from the press @CurrentBiology

Competition between chemoattractants causes unexpected complexity and can explain negative chemotaxis, by A Dowdell, et al @robinsall lab.

Great story for #CellMigration lovers

Competition between chemoattractants causes unexpected complexity and can explain negative chemotaxis

Competition between different ligands for the same receptor type can explain how cells can drive negative chemotaxis in which cells migrate away from a chemical repellent. Dowdell et al. show that ligand competition and breakdown can combine to cause counterintuitive behaviors, such as two attractants combining to repel cells.

#CellMigration for house cleaning!

Immune cell (i.e. #DendriticCell), moves to remove 2 death cells (arrows)

This is what happens in our body when normal tissue cells die, they are scanned & removed by leukocytes (also macrophages)

At this point of aging you actually start to get emotional, & the @cellcommlab is pushing hard in that direction.
Look the surprise they had for me today! 😍

Chocolate cake was👌🏼. The wine joke is 😂, they know my sense of humour. The match of hair colour on the card is also 😂
