Modeling Amoeboidal Cell Motion - Force vs Speed
2013-10-07
Seminario del Prof. John Dallon (Brigham Young University, USA) presso l'IAC-CNR, via dei Taurini 19, Roma, lunedi 7 ottobre alle ore 15e30.
Il giorno 7 ottobre 2013, il prof. John Dallon (Department of Mathematics, Brigham Young University, USA), terrà un seminario dal titolo "Modeling Amoeboidal Cell Motion - Force vs Speed"
Abstract: In this talk I will describe two models of amoeboidal cell motion. Both models are force based. One focuses on cell-cell interactions and how an aggregate of cells moves. The other model includes random switching terms and models individual cell motion. The biological implications of both models will be discussed.
