Abstract
The ability of cells to migrate within the extracellular matrix and to remodel it depends as much on the physical and biochemical characteristics of a particular matrix as on cellular properties. Analyzing the different modes of migration of cells in matrices, and how cells switch between these modes, is vital for understanding a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Recent work provides new insights, but also raises some debates about the mechanisms and regulation of cell migration in three-dimensional matrices.Mesh：
