Biomedicine, supercomputers and simulations: in silico experiments and its applications in cancer research
At the lowest scale, PhysiCell uses BioFVM solver to simulate the chemical microenvironment using partial differential equations which model the diffusion, uptake and secretion of substrates and signalling molecules. At the cell scale, PhysiCell uses mechanical equations to model individual cell...
Introduction to qualitative modelling with MaBoSS
Boolean modelling uses a simple representation of biological entities as either active or inactive, and describes their relations with logical formulas. MaBoSS extends Boolean modelling by adding a notion of continuous time, with the introduction of rates of (in)activation. This enable the...
