2017-8-27. In a new publication from Acevedo et al (2017) binding interactions between VASP and the cytoskeletal adapter protein Zyxin were explored using a VCell model to predict the population distribution of different molecular complexes based on different kinetic parameters. Find a link to the publication in our published models list.

2017-07-30. A new PNAS publication by Jung et al. is the latest in a series of VCell models published by the Hille lab. This new model explores the role of arrestin in regulating ERK activity during GPCR signaling. View the model structure through our list of published models.

2017-6-30. A VCell model has been used to investigate activation of the contact pathway for blood coagulation, describing membrane-dependent reactions for activation of Factor XII and Factor XI in the presence of inhibitors. A link to the paper from Chelushkin et al., 2017 is found in our list of Published Models .

2017-05-10. A VCell model has recently been published by Wittek et al. that describes the battle between fungal and plant  sugar transporters. View model details from our Published Models listing.

2017-03-10. A new model from the Iyengar and Loew laboratories examines how cytoskeletal dynamics effect local changes in the complex morphology of kidney podocytes. Link to the publication and view model details from our Published Models listing.

A new publication in PLoS Computational Biology from Boris Slepchenko and coworkers describes the new hybrid deterministic stochastic spatial solver used in VCell.  Schaff, J.C., F. Gao, Y. Li, I.L. Novak, and B.M. Slepchenko. 2016. Numerical Approach to Spatial Deterministic-Stochastic Models Arising in Cell Biology. PLoS Comput Biol. 12:e1005236. PMID 27959915
