Simulation of contact inhibition of locomotion of a crest cell (in blue) getting closer to a placode cell (in red).
(more info).
|
Simulation of motion of an aggregate of crest cells (in blue) attracted by a chemoattractant (in yellow) produced by placode cells
(in red) without contact inhibition of locomotion.
(more info).
|
Simulation of the chase and run behaviour of an aggregate of crest cells (in blue) and an aggregate of placode cells
(in red) due to contact inhibition of locomotion.
(more info).
|
Morphogenesis of zebrafish posterior lateral line.
(more info).

|
|
Durotaxis by a nonlocal kinetic model. Cells initially in a softer region (bottom half) sense non locally the presence
of a stiffer ECM in the top half of the domain and migrate there.
(more info).
|
Motion of cells along virtual fibronectin stripes (identified by white lines in the figure) by a nonlocal kinetic model.
Cells in regions lacking of adhesion sites attach to the stripes and move towards and along them.
(more info).
|
Cluster of cells chemo-attracted towards the top-right corner encountring a region (within the white circle in the figure) with denser ECM that slows them down.
(more info).
|
Cluster of cells chemo-attracted towards the top-right corner going around a region (within the white circle in the figure) with a too dense ECM that represent a physical limit of migration.
(more info).
|
|
|
Aggregation of separated cell clusters due to cell-cell adhesion by a non local kinetic model.
(more info).

Sviluppo di reti vascolari
|
|
|
|
|
|
First moments of the formation of a capillary network by human microvascular endothelial cells plated
(125 cells/mm2) on Matrigel
(more info). Contact me for a
longer version (too big to be put on the web).
|
Effect of the interaction with the Matrigel on the process of formation of the capillary network by
vasculogenesis (more info).

|
Growth of two colonies of WiDr cell lines which differ in their motility. Focus on where growth and death occurs (more info).
|
Tumour growth in a duct (on the left) . Its basal membrane is less dense in the central part and the tumour invades the outside passing through it. The line represents the tumor border.
(more info).
|
Tissue invasion by ovary cancer cells, degrating first the basal membrane of the ovary and then the mesothelial layer. The
line represents the tumor border.
(more info).

(more info).
|
Growth of a tumor in a heterogeneous tissue when the ECM fiber network in the elliptic areas still does not allow cells to pass through.

Growth of a tumor cord along a capillary on the x-axis. Volume ratio of tumor and host cells. The
line represents the tumor border.

populations are identified by the dashed line. The thick line represents the tumor border.
Color/darkness shows the deficit of ATP for aerobic cells, i.e., the severity of hypoxia

Volume fraction of anaerobic cells and tissue velocity. The starvation limits for the two populations
are identified by the dashed line. The thick line represents the tumor border
(more info).
