text: Cell movement has essential functions in development, immunity, and cancer.
Various cell migration patterns have been reported, but no general rule has emerged
so far. Here, we show on the basis of experimental data in vitro and in vivo that
cell persistence, which quantifies the straightness of trajectories, is robustly
coupled to cell migration speed. We suggest that this universal coupling constitutes
a generic law of cell migration, which originates in the advection of polarity
cues by an actin cytoskeleton undergoing flows at the cellular scale. Our analysis
relies on a theoretical model that we validate by measuring the persistence of
cells upon modulation of actin flow speeds and upon optogenetic manipulation of
the binding of an actin regulator to actin filaments. Beyond the quantitative
prediction of the coupling, the model yields a generic phase diagram of cellular
trajectories, which recapitulates the full range of observed migration patterns.

text: Directional guidance of cells via gradients of chemokines is considered crucial
for embryonic development, cancer dissemination, and immune responses. Nevertheless,
the concept still lacks direct experimental confirmation in vivo. Here, we identify
endogenous gradients of the chemokine CCL21 within mouse skin and show that they
guide dendritic cells toward lymphatic vessels. Quantitative imaging reveals depots
of CCL21 within lymphatic endothelial cells and steeply decaying gradients within
the perilymphatic interstitium. These gradients match the migratory patterns of
the dendritic cells, which directionally approach vessels from a distance of up
to 90-micrometers. Interstitial CCL21 is immobilized to heparan sulfates, and
its experimental delocalization or swamping the endogenous gradients abolishes
directed migration. These findings functionally establish the concept of haptotaxis,
directed migration along immobilized gradients, in tissues.
