From Genes to Organisms Via the Cell: A Problem-Solving Environment for Multicellular Development

TLDR
CompuCell3D is presented, a multitiered, flexible, and scalable problem-solving environment for morphogenesis simulations that's written in C++ using object-oriented design patterns.
Abstract
To gain performance, developers often build scientific applications in procedural languages, such as C or Fortran, which unfortunately reduces flexibility. To address this imbalance, the authors present CompuCell3D, a multitiered, flexible, and scalable problem-solving environment for morphogenesis simulations that's written in C++ using object-oriented design patterns.

Multi-Scale Modeling of Tissues Using CompuCell3D

TL;DR: This tutorial introduces the lattice-based Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg (GGH) Monte Carlo multi-cell modeling and the open-source GGH-based CompuCell3D simulation environment that allows rapid and intuitive modeling and simulation of cellular and multi- cellular behaviors in the context of tissue formation and subsequent dynamics.

A multiscale model of thrombus development.

TL;DR: Simulation results demonstrate the development of an inhomogeneous internal structure of the thrombus, which is confirmed by the preliminary experimental data and makes predictions about different stages inThrombus development, which can be tested experimentally and suggest specific experiments.

VirtualLeaf: An Open-Source Framework for Cell-Based Modeling of Plant Tissue Growth and Development

TL;DR: This work presents a step-by-step introduction to building models with VirtualLeaf, providing basic example models of leaf venation and meristem development and a set of biologically intuitive C++ objects that provide useful abstractions for building biological simulations of developmental processes.

Study of blood flow impact on growth of thrombi using a multiscale model

TL;DR: An extended multiscale model is introduced for studying the formation of platelet thrombi in blood vessels and simulations indicate that increase in flow rates leads to greater structural heterogeneity of the clot.

Simulation of biological cell sorting using a two-dimensional extended Potts model.

TL;DR: This work simulates the sorting of a mixture of two types of biological cells using a modified version of the large-Q Potts model with differential adhesivity and finds long-distance cell movement leading to sorting with a logarithmic increase in the length scale of homogeneous clusters.

Simulation of the differential adhesion driven rearrangement of biological cells

TL;DR: Simulation of the differential adhesion driven rearrangement of biological cells shows that self-organization due to few basic cell properties alone are enough to explain a number of biological phenomena.

Percolation, Morphogenesis, and Burgers Dynamics in Blood Vessels Formation

TL;DR: A simple model is proposed which reproduces many features of the biological system and shows that both the model and the real system exhibit a fractal behavior at small scales, followed at large scale by a random percolation behavior due to the coalescence of aggregates.
