CompuCell3D Model of Cell Migration Reproduces Chemotaxis
Pedro C. Dal-Castel, Gilberto L. Thomas, Gabriel C. Perrone +1
Chemotaxis combines three processes: directional sensing, polarity reorientation and migration. Directed migration plays an important role in immune response, metastasis, wound hea…
Velocities of Mesenchymal Cells May be Ill-Defined
Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, Gilberto L. Thomas, Carlo R. da Cunha +1
The dynamics of single cell migration on flat surfaces is usually modeled by a Langevin-like problem consisting of ballistic motion for short periods and random walk. for long peri…
Shape-velocity correlation defines polarization in migrating cell simulations
Gilberto L. Thomas, Ismael Fortuna, Gabriel C. Perrone +2
Cell migration plays essential roles in development, wound healing, diseases, and in the maintenance of a complex body. Experiments in collective cell migration generally measure q…
Exact solution for the Anisotropic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process
Rita M. C. de Almeida, Guilherme S. Y. Giardini, Mendeli Vainstein +2
Active Matter models commonly consider particles with overdamped dynamics subject to a force (speed) with constant modulus and random direction. Some models include also random noi…
Instantaneous cell migration velocity may be ill-defined
Gilberto L. Thomas, Ismael Fortuna, Gabriel C. Perrone +3
Cell crawling is critical to biological development, homeostasis and disease. In many cases, cell trajectories are quasi-random-walk. In vitro assays on flat surfaces often describ…
3D simulations of wet foam coarsening evidence a self similar growth regime
Gilberto L. Thomas, Julio M. Belmonte, François Graner +2
In wet liquid foams, slow diffusion of gas through bubble walls changes bubble pressure, volume and wall curvature. Large bubbles grow at the expenses of smaller ones. The smaller…
