| Abstract |
Cancer cells collectively form a large-scale structure for their growth. In this article, we report that HeLa cells, epithelial-like human cervical cancer cells, aggressively migrate on Matrigel and form a large-scale structure in a cell-density-dependent manner. To explain the experimental results, we develop a simple model in which cells interact and migrate using the two fundamentally different types of force, remote and contact forces, and show how cells form a large-scale structure. We demonstrate that the simple model reproduces experimental observations, suggesting that the remote and contact forces considered in this work play a major role in large-scale structure formation of HeLa cells. This article provides important evidence that cancer cells form a large-scale structure and develops an understanding into the poorly understood mechanisms of their structure formation.
