Abstract

The model we consider treats the cell as a viscoelastic medium filling one of two kinds of thin domains (“shapes” of cells): the thin slab being a caricature of a tissue and the thin circular cylinder mimicking a long cell. This enables us to simplify the system of mechano-chemical equations. We construct abundant classes of explicit, but approximate, formulae for heteroclinic solutions to these equations.
