Abstract

The dynamics of cell-ligand associated microdepots (LAM) interactions, through a phenomenological model to examine the differential effects of LAM-cell binding and LAM internalization within the cells were studied. The model was solved to yield rates of LAM binding and internalization at various LAM substrate densities. It was shown that the rate of cell migration can be governed by rate of cellular sampling LAMs, given by differential rates of LAM binding and internalization.
