Several molecular players are involved in regulating collective cell migration. Cadherins are crucial for maintaining cell-cell adhesion, while integrins mediate cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. Rho GTPases like Rac1 and RhoA control cytoskeletal dynamics, influencing cell shape and motility. Growth factors and their receptors, such as EGF and FGF, also play a significant role in modulating cell migration.
