GUI Overview
- Code tab: the custom code (C++)
- Config Basics tab: input parameters common to all models (e.g., domain grid, simulation time, choice/frequency of outputs)
- Microenvironment tab: microenvironment parameters that are model-specific
- User Params tab: user parameters that are model-specific
- Out: Cell Plots tab: output display of the cells
- Out: Substrate Plots tab: output display of the substrates
Introduction
This app demonstrates how you can model run an intracellular model along with PhysiCell. It uses libRoadrunner to read/process a SBML file that represents the intracellular model and also to solve the SBML model. In this particular model, our SBML contains a set of ODEs.
This model and cloud-hosted demo are part of a course on computational multicellular systems biology created and taught by Dr. Paul Macklin in the Department of Intelligent Systems Engineering at Indiana University. It is also part of the education and outreach for the IU Engineered nanoBIO Node and the NCI-funded cancer systems biology grant U01CA232137. The models are built using PhysiCell: a C++ framework for multicellular systems biology [1].
Basic instructions
Modify the parameters in the "Config Basics" and "User Params" tabs. Click the "Run" button once you are ready.
To view the behavior of the cells , click the "Cell Plots" tab, and slide the bar to advance through simulation frames. Note that as the simulation runs, the "Max" field (maximum frame number) will increase, so you can view more simulation frames.
To view the changing substrate fields, click the "Substrate Plots" tab, choose a substrate from the drop-down menu, and slide through the saved times. Note that as the simulation runs, the "max" field (maximum frame number) will increase, so you can view more simulation frames.
Note that you can download full simulation data for further exploration in your tools of choice.
