such a peculiar pattern could in principle carry information of the specific role
of the ion in other cellular functions, such as the adhesive interactions with
neighboring cells during the formation of vascular chords.
In Figure 6.16, we review all the proposed strategies to influence the phe-
nomenology of the motile cell. In particular, we summarize the values of crit-
ical parameters quantifying both the VEGF-induced calcium signals and the
resulting migratory properties of the TEC.
