F Graner, D Riveline - Development, 2017 - journals.biologists.com
In two chapters of his book On Growth and Form, D'Arcy Thompson used numerous biological and physical observations to show how principles from mathematics and physics …
Mathematical modelling of biological population dynamics often involves proposing high- fidelity discrete agent-based models that capture stochasticity and individual-level …

Mitotic rounding during cell division is critical for preventing daughter cells from inheriting an abnormal number of chromosomes, a condition that occurs frequently in cancer cells. Cells …
Collective cell spreading takes place in spatially continuous environments, yet it is often modelled using discrete lattice-based approaches. Here, we use data from a series of cell …
The intestinal epithelium is crucial to maintaining a healthy gut. Central to this are the crypts of Lieberkühn, which coordinate the rapid self-renewal of the epithelium to protect the small …
Collective cell migration in response to a chemical cue occurs in many biological processes such as morphogenesis and cancer metastasis. Clusters of migratory cells in these systems …
OJ Maclaren, A Parker, C Pin, SR Carding… - PLoS Computational …, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Our work addresses two key challenges, one biological and one methodological. First, we aim to understand how proliferation and cell migration rates in the intestinal epithelium are …
Metastasis is a process of cell migration that can be collective and guided by chemical cues. Viewing metastasis in this way, as a physical phenomenon, allows one to draw upon …
Collections of cells exhibit coherent migration during morphogenesis, cancer metastasis, and wound healing. In many cases, bigger clusters split, smaller subclusters collide and …
