  "summary": "From flocking birds to swarming insects, collective motion enables groups to accomplish tasks beyond the capabilities of individuals. These behaviors emerge from local interactions among group members, but the interaction rules that organize collectives at the cellular scale remain poorly understood, in part because they are difficult to manipulate experimentally. Here we develop a cell-machine…",
