Abstract excerpt
In general, cells move on a substrate through extension and contraction of the cell body. Though cell movement should be explained by taking into account the effect of such shape fluctuations, past approaches to formulate cell-crawling have not sufficiently quantified the relationship between cell movement (velocity and trajectory) and shape fluctuations based on experimental data regarding actual shaping...
