Combinatorial mathematical modelling approaches to interrogate rear retraction dynamics in 3D cell migration.

Cell migration in 3D microenvironments is a complex process which depends on the coordinated activity of leading edge protrusive force and rear retraction in a push-pull mechanism. While the potentiation of protrusions has been widely studied, the precise signalling and mechanical events that lead t...
