From energy to cellular forces in the Cellular Potts Model: An algorithmic approach.
Single and collective cell dynamics, cell shape changes, and cell migration can be conveniently represented by the Cellular Potts Model, a computational platform based on minimization of a Hamiltonian. Using the fact that a force field is easily derived from a scalar energy (F = -∇H), we develop a s...
