Simulation of single cell migration over extracellular matrix fibers using combined vertex- and particle-based modeling in Tissue Forge. Integrins (green particles) bind to extracellular matrix fibers (red particles) and generate protrusive forces (green lines) on the vertices that describe the shape of the cell (red polygon). Detailed view shows deformations in the ECM caused by force generation during cell migration.
