Modeling Cell Migration with Phase Field Method
Abstract:
Cell migration is important in many biological processes. Many eukaryotic cells can move using a crawling motion powered by the actin-myosinII machinery. We developed a phase field model and investigated the relation between actin-myosinII distribution, cell shape and cell speed.
