Abstract excerpt
Under many circumstances, cell migration speed is limited by the rate of cell-substratum detachment at the cell rear. We have constructed a mathematical model to integrate how the biophysical and biochemical interactions between integrins, the cytoskeleton, and the matrix affect rear retraction a...
