Theoretical Model for Cellular Shapes Driven by Protrusive and Adhesive Forces

The forces that arise from the actin cytoskeleton play a crucial role in determining the cell shape. These include protrusive forces due to actin polymerization and adhesion to the external matrix. We present here a theoretical model for the cellular shapes resulting from the feedback between the me...
