      Cell motility represents one of the most fundamental functions in life such as organ development or tissue regeneration and diseases such as cancer. Here, we derived a computational model of cell motility that incorporates ...
    • A stochastic hybrid model with a fast concentration bias for chemotactic cellular attraction 

      Ojer Ferrer, Jaume; García López, Alvaro; Used, Javier; Fernández Sanjuan, Miguel Angel (2022-03)
      Article
      Accés obert
      We reproduce the phenomenon of chemotaxis through a hybrid random walk model in two dimensions on a lattice. The dynamics of the chemoattractant is modelled using a partial differential equation, which reproduces its ...

      The long range movement of certain organisms in the presence of a chemoattractant can be governed by long distance runs, according to an approximate Lévy distribution. This article clarifies the form of biologically relevant ...
    • Robust mechanisms of ventral furrow invagination require the combination of cellular shape changes 

      Conte, Vito; Muñoz Romero, José; Baum, Buzz; Miodownik, M. (2009-05)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Ventral furrow formation in Drosophila is the first large-scale morphogenetic movement during the life of the embryo, and is driven by co-ordinated changes in the shape of individual epithelial cells within the cellular ...
    • Role of ECM/peptide coatings on SDF-1a triggered mesenchymal stromal cell migration from microcarriers for cell therapy 

      Levato, Riccardo; Planell Estany, Josep Anton; Mateos Timoneda, Miguel Ángel; Engel López, Elisabeth (2015-05-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Many cell therapies rely on the ability of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to diffuse and localize throughout the target tissue-such as tumoral and ischemic tissues-, in response to specific cytokine signals, rather than ...
    • Treatment-induced shrinking of tumour aggregates: a nonlinear volume-filling chemotactic approach 

      Estrada Rodríguez, Gissell; Almeida, Luis; Oliver, Lisa; Peurichard, Diane; Poulain, Alexandre; Vallette, François (2021-09)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Motivated by experimental observations in 3D/organoid cultures derived from glioblastoma, we propose a novel mechano-transduction mechanism where the introduction of a chemotherapeutic treatment induces mechanical changes ...
