A Statistical Mechanics Approach to Describe Cell Re-orientation under Stretch

Nadia Loy, Luigi Preziosi

Experiments show that when a monolayer of cells cultured on an elastic substrate is subject to a cyclic stretch, cells tend to re-orient either perpendicularly or at an oblique ang…

A viral load-based model for epidemic spread on spatial networks

Nadia Loy, Andrea Tosin

In this paper, we propose a Boltzmann-type kinetic model of the spreading of an infectious disease on a network. The latter describes the connections among countries, cities or dis…

Direction-Dependent Turning Leads to Anisotropic Diffusion and Persistence

Nadia Loy, Thomas Hillen, Kevin John Painter

Cells and organisms follow aligned structures in their environment, a process that can generate persistent migration paths. Kinetic transport equations are a popular modelling tool…

Multi-cue kinetic model with non-local sensing for cell migration on a fibers network with chemotaxis

N. Loy, M. Conte

Cells perform directed motion in response to external stimuli that they detect by sensing the environment with their membrane protrusions. In particular, several biochemical and bi…

Stability of a non-local kinetic model for cell migration with density dependent orientation bias

Nadia Loy, Luigi Preziosi

The aim of the article is to study the stability of a non-local kinetic model proposed by Loy and Preziosi (2019a). We split the population in two subgroups and perform a linear st…

Modelling physical limits of migration by a kinetic model with non-local sensing

Nadia Loy, Luigi Preziosi

Migrating cells choose their preferential direction of motion in response to different signals and stimuli sensed by spanning their external environment. However, the presence of d…
