Non-local models of cell-cell adhesion

Published:

When cells in a tissue exert traction forces, they pull on one another and on the underlying matrix, much like a tug of war. I describe this process using non-local PDEs.

Modelling of intra-cellular cell decision mechanisms

Published:

I consider models of intra-cellular signalling in cell polarization, that control how a cell determines its front and back. The objective is to uncover how cell-cell interactions, intracellular signalling, forces, and adhesion affect cell polarity and lead to the emergence of collective cell behaviour, in small to large cell groups.
