A Word on the Word ‘Multiscale’ First, let’s clarify what we mean by the somewhat hyped term ‘multiscale’. Generally, the term refers to mathematical and computational models that simultaneously describe processes at multiple time and spatial scales.

Let’s go through an example. We’ll construct a model in which an intracellular cell cycle network (ODE) regulates the division of motile cells which (CPM) release a diffusive cytokine (PDE) which, in turn, controls the cell cycle (ODE).
