Cell motility simulation with a reaction-diffusion model for actin waves on the cell perimeter Introduction A partial differential equation model for ‘actin waves’ by Holmes et al., 2012 was simplified and investigated by PDE bifurcation analysis in Hughes et al.

Spatial relaxation oscillator produces spatial dynamics and spiral waves, simplification of a previous model for actin waves Introduction Motivated by alternative cell motility modes in eukaryotic cells like Dictyostelium discoideum, we consider a simplified version of an intracellular model for an F-actin negative feedback to an (active/inactive) GTPase system.
