DESCRIPTION:Cell locomotion is essential for early development\, angiogene
 sis\, tissue regeneration\, the immune response\, and wound healing in mul
 ticellular organisms\, and plays a very deleterious role in cancer metasta
 sis in humans. Locomotion involves the detection and transduction of extra
 cellular chemical and mechanical signals\, integration of the signals into
  an intracellular signal\, and the spatio-temporal control of the intracel
 lular biochemical and mechanical responses that lead to force generation\,
  morphological changes and direct&nbsp\; movement. We will discuss some of
  the mathematical and computational challenges that the integration of the
 se processes poses and describe recent progress on some component processe
 s.
