Abstract:
The Chaste C++ library includes a flexible and extensible set of classes for running simulations with different kinds of individual-cell based models. Models of sub-cellular behaviour may be either deterministic or stochastic, and range from simple rule-based models to highly non-linear ordinary differential equation models. A variety of discrete model frameworks can be used to describe the movement and mechanical interactions of cell aggregates. Chaste currently supports the simulation of cell populations using lattice-based approaches (cellular automata and the cellular Potts model) as well as lattice-free models (centre-based models, in which connectivity is defined either by a Voronoi tessellation or ‘overlapping spheres’ approach, and vertex-based models). The transport of nutrients, signalling molecules or waste products may be modelled using a continuum approach; due to the presence of cell growth and division, such partial differential equation models must be solved on an irregular and evolving domain. In this seminar we'll introduce this framework and some of the newer modelling capabilities - immersed boundary models and subcellular element models.
