  bibo_abstract:
  - Cell migration in narrow microenvironments occurs in numerous physiological processes.
    It involves successive cycles of confinement and release that drive important
    morphological changes. However, it remains unclear whether migrating cells can
    retain a memory of their past morphological states that could potentially facilitate
    their navigation through confined spaces. We demonstrate that local geometry governs
    a switch between two cell morphologies, thereby facilitating cell passage through
    long and narrow gaps. We combined cell migration assays on standardized microsystems
    with biophysical modelling and biochemical perturbations to show that migrating
    cells have a long-term memory of past confinement events. The morphological cell
    states correlate across transitions through actin cortex remodelling. These findings
    indicate that mechanical memory in migrating cells plays an active role in their
    migratory potential in confined environments.@eng
