AI总结:

本研究实验证明细胞牵引力与向列序张量梯度全局对齐且成正比,并提出含非线性力与扩散项的流动模型,揭示活性力增强密度不稳定性但抑制弯曲不稳定性,从而解释神经祖细胞培养中聚集与分散共存而有序图案稳定的现象。

摘要:

细胞排列常形成向列序,由于所谓的主动力,这种有序可导致异常的集体细胞流动。尽管人们认识到细胞迁移由牵引力驱动,但对牵引力、向列图案与细胞流动速度之间关系的定量评估仍不清楚。在此,我们发现细胞牵引力几乎完美地对齐于向列序张量的梯度,并且在幅度上与其成正比,不仅在拓扑缺陷附近如此,而且在全局范围内也是如此。此外,单层中的流动最好通过加入非线性力和由对称性考虑导出的扩散项来描述。这些非线性主动力增强了密度不稳定性,但抑制了弯曲不稳定性,这解释了为何在神经祖细胞培养中细胞聚集与分散可以发生,而它们的有序图案保持稳定。

英文摘要:

Cell alignment often forms nematic order, which can lead to anomalous collective cell flow due to the so-called active force. Although it is appreciated that cell migration is driven by traction force, a quantitative evaluation of the relationships between the traction force, the nematic patterning, and the cell flow velocity is still elusive. Here we have found that cellular traction force aligns almost perfectly and is proportional in amplitude to the gradient of the nematic order tensor, not only near the topological defects but also globally. Furthermore, the flow in the monolayer was best described by adding nonlinear forces and a diffusion term derived from symmetry considerations. These nonlinear active forces enhance density instability but suppress bending instability, explaining why cell accumulation and dispersion can occur in neural progenitor cell culture while their ordering pattern is stable.
