| Abstract: |
| Cell migration is a fundamental process in many biological phenomena. In this talk, I will present a lattice-based framework for modeling the dynamics of migrating cells. The lattice formulation provides a simple and intuitive way to study how microscopic movement rules give rise to collective behaviors at larger scales. Depending on the modeling assumptions, the framework can capture important features such as random motility, directional bias, adhesion. The emphasis will be on the modeling ideas and on the role of regular lattice structures as a useful tool for understanding cell migration dynamics. |
