Cell Locomotion Mechanism

Description

This lecture explores the importance of biological cell locomotion, which plays a crucial role in processes like wound healing but can also contribute to the migration of cancer cells. The mechanism involves polymerization, mechanical action-reaction law, and Brownian motion, driven by actin filaments exerting force on the cell membrane.
