In vivo topology converts competition for cell-matrix adhesion into directional migration

Migrating cells encounter multiple signals such as extracellular matrix (ECM) and chemokinetic factors but how these integrate in vivo is unclear. Here, the authors report that overall control of cell-ECM adhesion by Sema3A and Sdf1 can be converted into directional migration by a biased ECM network...
