VCell model of Mad signaling

2021-04-16T14:03:55+00:00 March 30th, 2021|News|

2021-3-30. A new paper from the Inaba lab uses a VCell model to explore how pMad is asymmetrically partitioned to forming daughter nuclei during division of stem cells in the Drosophila ovary.  Find links to the model and citation on our published models page.

VCell 7.4 released

2021-03-23T15:22:09+00:00 March 23rd, 2021|News|

2021-03-23.VCell 7.4 has been released.  New in VCell 7.4 is the ability to preview geometries from the VCell database, vastly accelerated multiple trajectory stochastic simulations using the Gibson-Bruck solver, extension of unit display and automatic conversion to rate and assignment rules, support for external access to containerized versions of some VCell solvers with command line execution, as well as numerous additional improvements and bug fixes.

New VCell model of Ras signaling
