Crawling and turning in a minimal reaction-diffusion cell motility model: coupling cell shape and biochemistry
Brian A. Camley, Yanxiang Zhao, Bo Li +2
We study a minimal model of a crawling eukaryotic cell with a chemical polarity controlled by a reaction-diffusion mechanism describing Rho GTPase dynamics. The size, shape, and sp…

Velocity alignment leads to high persistence in confined cells
Brian A. Camley, Wouter-Jan Rappel
Many cell types display random motility on two-dimensional substrates, but crawl persistently in a single direction when confined in a microchannel or on an adhesive micropattern.…

Determining the accuracy of spatial gradient sensing using statistical mechanics
Bo Hu, Wen Chen, Wouter-Jan Rappel +1
Many eukaryotic cells are able to sense chemical gradients by directly measuring spatial concentration differences. The precision of such gradient sensing is limited by fluctuation…
