Formation of cell clusters is a common morphogenic cell behavior observed during tissue and organ development and homeostasis, as well as during pathological disorders. Dynamic regulation of cell clustering depends on the balance between contraction of cells into clusters and migration of cells as dispersed individuals. Previously we reported that under procontractile culture conditions, fibronectin fibrillar matrix assembly by human fibroblasts functioned as a nucleation center for cell cluster ...[more]
