Mass-Conservation Increases Robustness in Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion Models of Cell Crawling

The process of polarization determines the head and tail of single cells. A mechanism of this kind frequently precedes the subsequent cell locomotion and it determines the direction of motion. The process of polarization has frequently been described as a reaction-diffusion mechanism combined with a...
