Cellular Potts Models

Introduction This model shows the original cellular Potts model (a.k.a. Glazier-Graner model) of cell sorting based on the Steinberg’s differential adhesion hypothesis. Yellow cells engulf the red cells as a result of differential adhesion.

Introduction This model shows a simulation of a growing cell population, using the cellular Potts model. Growing cell population. Description The model specifies CellType which has a VolumeConstraint and a Proliferation plugin.

Introduction This example shows self-organized collective motion of cells as a result of persistence (‘cellular inertia’). A similar model has recently been used by Czirók et al. (2013). Persistence of individual cells causes self-organized collective motion.

Introduction This model shows a CPM simulation of a growing cell population in 3D. Cell population grown from single initial cell. Description The model specifies CellType which has a VolumeConstraint and a Proliferation plugin.

Introduction This example models a single cell that moves according to a Lévy walk: a random walk with occassional occurrence of long straight walks. Modeling cell movements as a Lévy walk.

Demonstrates the Morpheus features asymmetric cell division (CellDivision), conditional change of cell type (ChangeCellType) and loading a simulation domain from an Image. This model also requires the separate file crypt.
