Mathematical modelling of lamellipodium dynamics

Several approaches for the derivation of simulation models for cytoskeleton dynamics will be reviewed and compared, with an emphasis on the relation between molecule based stochastic models for the interaction between actin filaments, the cell membrane, and cytoskeletal proteins on the one hand, and deterministic continuum models on the other hand.
