| Abstract | Stem cell migration is crucial in many biological processes such as embryogenesis, histogenesis, and stem cell biology. It is also an important process in physiology, and in medicine, it can contribute to develop effective stem cell therapies. While there is a large body of experimental evidence that attempts to understand the biological and physiological mechanisms governing stem cell activity in the organism, computational modeling studies are scarce. Because stem cell migration is affected by biological diversity and the complexity of the cells' microenvironment, experiments are hard to conduct and corresponding measurements are sophisticated. Computational modeling is a good complementary method to help us understand this process. Here, a mini-review is presented discussing the existing efforts and the unsolved key issues in stem cell migration. In addition, existing computational models studying the migration of differentiated cells are briefly discussed in the context of how they can be applied to increase our understanding of the dynamics involved in stem cell migration: Particular emphasis is placed on how biomechanical aspects of migration are explored in these models. |
