Introduction

This model shows a simulation of a growing cell population, using the cellular Potts model.

Growing cell population.
Growing cell population.

Description

The model specifies CellType which has a VolumeConstraint and a Proliferation plugin.

In the Proliferation plugin, the Conditions for a cell to divide are given. Here, each cell that has more than 90% of the target volume has a small probability to divide. Once a division has taken place, the Equation defined in the Triggers elements are triggered.
