| Abstract | Cell migration is fundamental to the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms; unregulated migration can lead to a number of diseases, making the management of cell migration one of the most important topics in biology. The role of various cues in directing cell migration is widespread, in particular the role of signals in the environment in the control of cell motility and directional guidance. In many cases, particularly in developmental biology, growth of the domain also plays a large role in the distribution of cells and in some cases, cell or signal distribution may actually drive domain growth. The aim of this minisymposium is to discuss a number of approaches for modeling cell motility on the individual level and their correspondence with classical models for cell movements on a population level. |
