Key Points

This research aims to explore how microrods can induce morphological changes in cells to enhance migration.
Utilized microrods to create mechanical deformations in cell structures.
Observed changes in cell morphology under various conditions.
Analyzed migration patterns of cells in response to these changes.
Cells exhibited increased migration rates when subjected to microrod-induced deformations.
Morphological changes correlated positively with enhanced cell movement.

Implication

This research demonstrates how microrods influence cell migration, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for wound healing and cancer treatment.

Abstract

Cell migration plays a central role in various biological processes, including development, wound healing, and cancer metastasis, and represents a fundamental form of self-organized motion at the cellular scale. These...
