This review explores multi-scale modeling for cellular and tissue functions, linking molecular processes to organ-level performance using the heart as a key example.

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Biophysics
  • Systems biology

Background:

  • Understanding complex biological systems requires integrating diverse modeling approaches.
  • Bridging different scales, from molecular to organ level, presents significant challenges in biological modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development of multi-scale models for cellular and tissue function.
  • To address challenges in transitioning between stochastic and continuum models.
  • To demonstrate the integration of cell and tissue structure in multi-scale models.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on multi-scale modeling in biology.
  • Discussion of the transition from stochastic to continuum modeling paradigms.
  • Case study analysis using cardiac function modeling.
