Analysis of Initial Cell Spreading Using Mechanistic Contact Formulations for a Deformable Cell Model

Adhesion governs to a large extent the mechanical interaction between a cell and its microenvironment. As initial cell spreading is purely adhesion driven, understanding this phenomenon leads to profound insight in both cell adhesion and cell-substrate interaction. It has been found that across a wi...
