Self-sustained motion of a train of haptotactic microcapsules

Using theory and simulation, we design a "train" of N microcapsules that undergoes self-sustained, directed motion along an adhesive surface in solution. The motion is initiated by the release of nanoparticles from a single "signaling" capsule at one end of the train. The release...
