Cell type properties

Each cell type in the model has a specific set of properties. To configure these properties, you need to:

  1. Select the cell type on the diagram whose properties you want to change.

  2. In the lower right window, click LMB on the Cell Types tab.

Cell_Types_button


After this, in the lower right window you will see a list of cell type properties.

Cell_properties_panel


  • Cycle: cell life cycle,

  • Division: type of cell division,

  • Death: type of cell death,

  • Volume: volume of the cell and its compartments,

  • Mechanics: mechanical properties of the cell,

  • Integrity: cell integrity and damage,

  • Motility: cell motility,

  • Secretion: secretion/consumption by the cell,

  • Interactions: intercellular interactions,

  • Transformations: cell transformations,

  • Custom data: custom cell data,

  • Functions: functions that describe the behavior of the cell,

  • Intracellular: intracellular cell model,

  • Rules: rules describing the behavior of the cell,

  • Initial distribution: initial distribution of cell characteristics.

To proceed to editing a particular property of a cell type, you need to click LMB on the corresponding tab in the properties panel.

Important

The initial values ​​of the characteristics are indicated here - during the calculation process for each specific cell they may change.

Next we will look at each of the properties in detail.
