Pattern formation within phenotype-structured chemotactic populations
Tommaso Lorenzi, Kevin J. Painter
Populations can become spatially organised through chemotaxis autoattraction, wherein population members release their own chemoattractant. Standard models of this process usually…

Phenotype structuring in collective cell migration:a tutorial of mathematical models and methods
Tommaso Lorenzi, Kevin J Painter, Chiara Villa
Populations are heterogeneous, deviating in numerous ways. Phenotypic diversity refers to the range of traits or characteristics across a population, where for cells this could be…

Trait-structured chemotaxis: Exploring ligand-receptor dynamics and travelling wave properties in a Keller-Segel model
Viktoria Freingruber, Tommaso Lorenzi, Kevin J. Painter +1
A novel trait-structured Keller-Segel model that explores the dynamics of a migrating cell population guided by chemotaxis in response to an external ligand concentration is derive…
