Model of waving behavior at the leading edge of crawling cells

Full model description is published in: Barnhart, E., Allard, J., Mogilner, A., Theriot, J., Adhesion-dependent wave generation in crawling cells. Current Biology 27: 27:38 (2017).

Basic usage

• In the folder /src/, open Matlab script doPdeSingle.m.

• Create a folder /runs/ in the same directory as the repository. Large files will be deposited here so it can be left out of the repository sync if desired.

• Edit the line runName = 'testrun1'; to a desired runName.

• Run doPdeSingle.m. This will create a directory in /runs/ with the runName, perform a single execution of the model, and run analysis of the results that will generate plots.

Requirements

• Matlab 2018a

• Mex requires a C compiler
