Bridging from single to collective cell migration: A review of models and links to experiments
Table 2
Summary of the modeling papers.
Papers classified by 3 levels of organization: S, SCB, and CCB or tissue behavior. SPP models represent the cell shape statistically; common cell shape choices are spherical, ellipsoidal, or cylindrical cells. Models are categorized into: (1) CPM; (2) phase-field models; (3) vertex models; (4) particle models; (5) continuum models. CPM and phase-field models resolve cell shape well. c-c, cell-cell; CCB, collective cell behavior; CPM, Cellular Potts Models; expts., experiments; FEM, finite element methods; ODE, ordinary differential equations; RDE, reaction diffusion equation; S, signaling; SCB, single cell behavior; SPP, self-propelled particles.
