What controls whether cells - or clusters of cells - break off from an invading cancerous front? New preprint from my group in collaboration with the Konstantopoulos group @KKLabJHU , led by @wwang721 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
This is a really fun project - we modeled experiments from @KKLabJHU doi.org/10.1126/sciadv… - trying to capture how rates and distributions of cluster size depend on the geometry of the channel they're invading into.
We find cell dissociation depends on cell-cell adhesion, noise in cell motility, the presence of leader cells, as well as some surprises -- like cell-channel adhesion.
For physicists, we also show that there's a big difference between "jammed" and "unjammed" tissues. We find unjamming is necessary - but not sufficient - to predict the ability of cells to dissociate from an invading front.
Much much more in the paper, so I won't drag on here. Congrats to @wwang721 !
