Hydrodynamics of cell-cell mechanical signaling in the initial stages of aggregation

Mechanotactic cell motility has recently been shown to be a key player in the initial aggregation of crawling cells such as leukocytes and amoebae. The effects of mechanotactic signaling in the early aggregation of amoeboid cells are here investigated using a general mathematical model based on know...
