Modeling chemotaxis of adhesive cells: stochastic lattice approach and continuum description

The effect of chemotaxis on migration of adhesive and proliferative cells on a substrate is analyzed by employing two approaches: by solving a stochastic discrete lattice model for cell dynamics and by deriving and solving a continuum macroscopic equation for cell density. The phenomenon of front pr...
