‘What is the difference between an Equation, a Rule and a Function ?’

Introduction This example model cell fate decisions during early patterning of the pancreas (de Back et al., 2012). The simple gene regulatory network of each cell is coupled to adjacent cells by lateral (juxtacrine) signaling.

Let’s go through an example. We’ll construct a model in which an intracellular cell cycle network (ODE) regulates the division of motile cells which (CPM) release a diffusive cytokine (PDE) which, in turn, controls the cell cycle (ODE).
