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…
