Cell-based tissue simulations require not only the ability to write new code in a simulation framework, but also an understanding of underlying mathematical models and parameters for each behavior of an agent. This entails a steep learning curve for interdisciplinary researchers joining computational biology research. We have created this suite of cloud-hosted open-source tools to separately explore key components of an agent-based cellular simulation framework. This creates an self-contained environment to learn and test functions of cells and micro-environment in modular fashion before creating more detailed, research-focused simulation models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
