Advancing Edge Speeds of Epithelial Monolayers Depend on Their Initial Confining Geometry.

Collective cell migrations are essential in several physiological processes and are driven by both chemical and mechanical cues. The roles of substrate stiffness and confinement on collective migrations have been investigated in recent years, however few studies have addressed how geometric shapes i...
