Computational estimates of mechanical constraints on cell migration through the extracellular matrix.
Cell migration through a three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) underlies important physiological phenomena and is based on a variety of mechanical strategies depending on the cell type and the properties of the ECM. By using computer simulations of the cell's mid-plane, we investiga...
