Cell Migration with Multiple Pseudopodia: Temporal and Spatial Sensing Models [PDF]
, 2013 Cell migration triggered by pseudopodia (or “false feet”) is the most used method of locomotion. A 3D finite element model of a cell migrating over a 2D substrate is proposed, with a particular focus on the mechanical aspects of the biological phenomenon.

Spectrin binding motifs regulate Scribble cortical dynamics and polarity function
eLife, 2015 The tumor suppressor protein Scribble (SCRIB) plays an evolutionary conserved role in cell polarity. Despite being central for its function, the molecular basis of SCRIB recruitment and stabilization at the cell cortex is poorly understood.

On the mechanical interplay between intra- and inter-synchronization during collective cell migration : a numerical investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Collective cell migration is a fundamental process that takes place during several biological phenomena such as embryogenesis, immunity response, and tumorogenesis, but the mechanisms that regulate it are still unclear.

Reaction–Diffusion Finite Element Model of Lateral Line Primordium Migration to Explore Cell Leadership [PDF]
, 2014 Collective cell migration plays a fundamental role in many biological phenomena such as immune response, embryogenesis and tumorigenesis. In the present work, we propose a reaction–diffusion finite element model of the lateral line primordium migration ...

Transplantation stimulates interstitial cell migration in hydra [PDF]
, 1990 Migration of interstitial cells and nerve cell precursors was analyzed in Hydra magnipapillata and Hydra vulgaris (formerly Hydra attenuata). Axial grafts were made between [3H]thymidine-labeled donor and unlabeled host tissue. Migration of labeled cells
