Plithotaxis, from the Greek, πλήΘος, denoting crowd, swarm, or throng. In collective cellular migration, plithotaxis is the tendency for each individual cell within a monolayer to migrate along the local orientation of the maximal principal stress, or equivalently, minimal intercellular shear stress.〔Tambe, D.T., Hardin, C., Angelini, T.E., Rajendran, K., Park, C.Y., Serra-Picamal, X., Zhou, E.H., Zaman, M.H., Butler, J.P., Weitz, D.A., Fredberg JJ, Trepat, X, Collective cell guidance by cooperative intercellular forces.

Plithotaxis and emergent dynamics in collective cellular migration. ''Trends in Cell Biology'' - 23 July 2011, .〕 Plithotaxis requires force transmission across many cell-cell junctions and therefore is an emergent property of the cell group. ==See also== * Chemotaxis * Durotaxis * Haptotaxis * Mechanotaxis 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plithotaxis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
