Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how collective cell movements, such as those in embryo development and cancer spread, can emerge from simple physical and mechanical interactions between cells, without needing complex biological signals.
  • Using computer simulations, researchers show that cell motility and physical connections are enough to produce behaviors like streaming, sheet migration, and leader cell influence, which are common in real biological processes.
  • The findings highlight that factors like population size, confinement, and the correlation length of cell movement can predict how cells coordinate, offering new insights into phenomena like cancer metastasis and cell sorting, especially in cases where individual cells can't invade alone.]
