Membrane pattern allows anisotropic release of substance into a chemical synapse Introduction Special cell types, like neurons or immune cells, communicate through a chemical synapse. This includes the anisotropic secretion of a substance into the gap between two cells.

Different cell migration patterns may result from different dynamic states like wave pinning (WP), mixed-mode oscillations (MMO) and relaxation oscillations (RO) of the Rho-Rac-paxillin circuit on the cell membrane.

The migration of zebrafish polster cells is oriented by the migration of follower cells, allowing robust long-range coordination of different cell populations. Introduction Collective cell migration is an important process during biological development and tissue repair.

Guidance-by-followers combined with one of several simple rule sets for integration of signals from multiple neighbors provides a robust mechanism for collective cell migration. Introduction Collective cell migration is an important process during biological development and tissue repair but may turn malignant during tumor invasion.

Membrane pattern allows anisotropic release of substance from cell Introduction This example serves to demonstrate a multiscale model of a cell secreting a substance/molecule and propelling away from the secreted substance.
