A phase field model with stochastic input simulates cellular gradient sensing, morphodynamics, and fidelity of haptotaxis

Joseph M. Koelbl, Hector M. Apodaca, Jason M. Haugh

The paper develops a phase field model to simulate haptotaxis, showing how directional persistence compensates for reduced gradient bias and maintains response robustness in multi-cue environments.
