Brief overview of computer models for the deformation and migration of single cells

Vermolen FJ

This short review note lists several modeling efforts that have been performed to model cell migration and deformation. In order to optimize and improve medical treatments against diseases such as cancer, ischemic wounds or pressure ulcers, it is crucial to understand the underlying biological mechanisms. Such biological mechanisms also take place at the cellular level, where cells are known to migrate, proliferate, differentiate and die.
