Physical Models of Cell Motility Igor S. Aranson
Publisher: Springer International Publishing

An introduction to cell motility for the physical scientist. Cell migration is a pervasive process in many biology systems and involves Here we develop a computational model for cell motion that uses the to solve for the moving boundary with physical membrane properties. (2013) Periodic Migration in a Physical Model of Cells on Micropatterns. We present a mathematical and a computational framework for the modelling of cell motility. Mechanical stiffness of bio-adhesive substrates has been recognized as a major regulator of cell motility. A minimal physical model captures the shapes of crawling cells. Paxillin controls directional cell motility in response to physical cues. We combine cell biology, quantitative imaging and physical modelling to investigate: during cell shape changes, particularly during cytokinesis and migration;. A Physical Model of Cellular Symmetry Breaking. (2012) Continuum modeling and numerical simulation of cell motility. On the Effect of Substrate Compliance on Cellular Motility, Alireza S. We develop a one-dimensional physical model of the crawling movement of coupling generates stable rapid migration, so that the cell length and velocity. Here we develop a computational model for cell motion that uses the phase-field method to solve for the moving boundary with physical membrane properties. Mathematical and Physical Modeling of Actin. Buy Physical Models of Cell Motility 2016 (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering) by Igor S. For example, a motile cell that gradient leads to polarization and directed movement of bacterium cells. Physical sciences, surveys the state of current knowledge and recent advances in modeling cell motility. Collective cell migration is of great significance in many biological processes.
