Algorithm for LSM simulation of cell shape changes in response to external chemotaxis gradients. This algorithm includes only general steps required to generate the pressure profile. To simulate chemotaxis also requires that the chemoattractant gradient be generated and that the protrusive (Pprot) and retractive (Pretr) pressures be computed. These would be determined by specific models of chemotactic response. In our simulations, these were generated by Eqn. 15 and Eqn. 16, respectively.
