CellSys is a software tool for simulating multi-cellular systems. It models cell growth, organization, and migration in 2D and 3D, aiding in the analysis of virtual tissues.

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Biophysics
  • Multicellular systems modeling

Background:

  • CellSys is a modular software tool designed for off-lattice simulation of multicellular systems.
  • It employs an agent-based model, representing cells as isotropic, elastic, and adhesive objects.
  • The software supports both 2D and 3D simulations, including real-time 3D visualization and VRML 2.0 support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an efficient and versatile software tool for simulating multicellular growth and organization.
  • To enable detailed analysis of virtual tissues by allowing independent variation of cell and environment parameters.
  • To facilitate species-specific simulations and investigate links between cellular and multicellular phenotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of an agent-based model approximating cells as isotropic, elastic, and adhesive objects.
