Mechanosensitive dynamics of lysosomes along microtubules regulate leader cell emergence during collective cell migration


During collective migration, only a few cells become leaders that guide tissue movement. Here, the authors show that contractile forces drive lysosomes to the cell edge, where they activate Rac1 and trigger leader cell emergence.
