@edwinhuras.bsky.socialThrilled to share new collaborative work with the lab of Leah Edelstein-Keshet and @oweinerlab.bsky.social , led by Edwin Huras 👏

Show PostWhat I love about this is that we've actually seen cells round up like this when they bump into something experimentally, from time to time, but never had any inkling of what it might be for.
Show PostMy favorite result is how the model shows the limitations of relying on biochemistry alone. A Rac–Rho polarity circuit can give cells a really robust polarity, but that same robustness can quickly become a problem. Cells easily get stuck in corners when the gradient is shallow.
Show PostI am happy to share this work with you guys! (Link to the preprint at the below thread). Edwin Huras got my code and parameters for Neutrophil cell simulations and tested it against multiple different tracks, with astonishing results. You should check it out!
