Description
The dynamical behavior of cells in vivo is largely conditioned by their microenvironment. After a wound, an epithelial monolayer migrates collectively perpendicular to its front edge. But its displacements are also guided by the oriented textures of the underlying substrate. In the present project, we study situations where these two directional cues impose conflicting orientations impacting the dynamical behavior of the monolayer
