lower edge of the migration chamber. (A) Three-dimensional view of cell posi-
tion (red line represents the VEGF source), (B) and (C) contour plots showing
intracellular calcium concentration during cell motion in, respectively, z = 1

concentration profiles at the end of migra-
tion, t = 6 h, along cell x-cross-section of the z = 1 m plane from the trailing
edge to the leading edge. Mean over 10 simulations; the error bars represent
standard deviation.
