Substrate mediated interaction between pairs of keratocytes: Multipole traction force models describe their migratory behavior.

A series of traction force microscopy experiments involving pairs of keratocytes migrating on compliant substrates were analyzed. We observed several instances where keratocytes that are about to collide turn before they touch. We term this phenomenon collision avoidance behavior and we propose that...
