Slow local movements of collagen fibers by fibroblasts drive the rapid global self-organization of collagen gels

Aclassic model for tissue morphogenesis is the formation of ligament-like straps between explants of fibroblasts placed in collagen gels. The patterns arise from mechanical forces exerted by cells on their substrates (Harris et al., 1981). However, where do such straps come from, and how are slow lo...
