(a–c) An illustration of remeshing in a FEM computation. An initial domain (a) is subdivided into a triangular mesh, but as the domain deforms, the mesh becomes low quality (leading to poor accuracy) and too fine (increasing computational costs) in some parts. (b). The remeshing (c) is used to create a better and more regular mesh. (d–f) FEM simulations by Rubinstein et al. [7]. (Left to Right) Snapshots at three successive times, showing the free G-actin in a 2-D keratocyte turning simulation analogous to Figure 10 in [7]. The simulation depicts an experiment in which caged thymosin is photoactivated in the left part of the cell, causing G-actin depletion and cell turning. Colour bar: concentration of profilin-bound G-actin. Original figure (panels d–f) kindly provided by Boris Rubinstein.
