Abstract Impacts of microenvironments on cell migration have been reported in various interaction modes. A rapid tumor metastasis occurs along topological interfaces in vivo, such as the interface between the blood vessels and nerves. In this work, we culture MDA-MB231 cells at dish-liquid, dish-hydrogel, and hydrogel-liquid interfaces, respectively, to study how these different interfaces influence cell dynamics and morphology. Our results show that the migration mode of cells changes from an amoeboid motion to a mesenchymal motion but their speed do not change obviously if the interface changes from hydrogel-liquid to dish-liquid. In contrast, the migration mode of cells at a dish-hydrogel interface maintains as a mesenchymal motion, whereas their speed increases significantly.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
