Lamellipodia

Lamellipodia are sheet-like cellular structures that consist of a dense actin network an several accessory proteins. Many cell types use this structure to crawl on flat surfaces.

Project Description: The FBLM (Filament Based Lamellipodium Model) is a continuous, nonlinear PDE model whose derivation is based on the microscopic description of actin filaments and interacting proteins. It links macroscopic phenomena, such as chemotaxis induced shape changes, cell-cell interactions, etc. to the underlying biological players.
