A Parallel Implementation of the Cellular Potts Model for Simulation of Cell-Based (2009)

Nan Chen, James A. Glazier, Jesús A. Izaguirre

The Cellular Potts Model (CPM) has been used in a wide variety of biological simulations. However, most current CPM implementations use a sequential modified Metropolis algorithm which restricts the...

2004 DRAFT IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY AND BIOINFORMATICS 2 We present COMPUCELL3D, a software framework for three-dimensional simulation of morphogen-esis in different organisms....

Experimental growth law for bubbles in a "wet" 3D liquid foam (2007)

Lambert, Jérôme, Mokso, Rajmund, Cantat, Isabelle, Cloetens, Peter, Delannay, Renaud, Glazier, James A., ...

We used X-ray tomography to characterize the geometry of all bubbles in a liquid foam of average liquid fraction $\phi_l\approx 17 %$ and to follow their evolution, measuring the normalized growth...

From genes to organisms via the cell: a problem solving environment for multicellular development. Computing in Science and Engineering 9:50–60 (2007)

Trevor Cickovski, Kedar Aras, Maciej Swat, M. H. Merks, Tilmann Glimm, H. George E, ...

Scientific applications are typically developed using procedural languages such as C or Fortran to gain performance, but often at the cost of reduced flexibility. As software complexity increases,...

Adhesion between cells, diffusion of growth factors, and elasticity of the AER produce the paddle shape of the chick limb (2006)

Poplawski, Nikodem J., Swat, Maciej, Gens, J. Scott, Glazier, James A.

A central question in developmental biology is how cells interact to organize into tissues? In this paper, we study the role of mesenchyme-ectoderm interaction in the growing chick limb bud using...

Viscous instabilities in flowing foams: A Cellular Potts Model approach (2005)

Sanyal, Soma, Glazier, James A.

The Cellular Potts Model (CPM) succesfully simulates drainage and shear in foams. Here we use the CPM to investigate instabilities due to the flow of a single large bubble in a dry, monodisperse...

Contact-inhibited chemotaxis in de novo and sprouting blood-vessel growth (2005)

Merks, Roeland M. H., Perryn, Erica D., Shirinifard, Abbas, Glazier, James A.

Blood vessels form either when dispersed endothelial cells (the cells lining the inner walls of fully-formed blood vessels) organize into a vessel network (vasculogenesis), or by sprouting or...

Solving the Advection-Diffusion Equations in Biological Contexts using the Cellular Potts Model (2005)

Dan, Debasis, Mueller, Chris, Chen, Kun, Glazier, James A.

The Cellular Potts Model (CPM) is a robust, cell-level methodology for simulation of biological tissues and morphogenesis. Both tissue physiology and morphogenesis depend on diffusion of chemical...

Trevor M. Cickovski, Chengbang Huang, Rajiv Chaturvedi, Tilmann Glimm, H. George, E. Hentschel, ...

Abstract—We present COMPUCELL3D, a software framework for three-dimensional simulation of morphogenesis in different organisms. COMPUCELL3D employs biologically relevant models for cell clustering,...

Dynamics and Topological Aspects of a Reconstructed Two-Dimensional Foam Time Series Using Potts Model on a Pinned Lattice (2003)

Vasconcelos, Igor F., Cantat, Isabelle, Glazier, James A.

We discuss a method to reconstruct an approximate two-dimensional foam structure from an incomplete image using the extended Potts mode with a pinned lattice we introduced in a previous paper. The...

A texture tensor to quantify deformations (2003)

Aubouy, Miguel, Jiang, Yi, Glazier, James A., Graner, François

Under mechanical deformation, most materials exhibit both elastic and fluid (or plastic) responses. No existing formalism derived from microscopic principles encompasses both their fluid-like and...

A texture tensor to quantify deformations: the example of two-dimensional flowing foams (2003)

Asipauskas, Marius, Aubouy, Miguel, Glazier, James A., Graner, François, Jiang, Yi

In a continuum description of materials, the stress tensor field $\bar{% \bar{\sigma}}$ quantifies the internal forces the neighbouring regions exert on a region of the material. The classical theory...

On Cellular Automaton Approaches to Modeling Biological Cells (2002)

Mark S. Alber, Maria A. Kiskowski, James A. Glazier, Yi Jiang

We discuss two di#erent types of Cellular Automata (CA): lattice-gasbased cellular automata (LGCA) and the cellular Potts model (CPM), and describe their applications in biological modeling.

A Model of Convergent Extension in Animal Morphogenesis (1999)

Glazier, James A.

In this paper we argue that the pattern of cell movements in the morphogenetic process known as convergent extension can be understood as a energy minimization process, provided the cell-cell...

Stochastic Simulation of Benign Avascular Tumour growth using the Potts Model. (1999)

Emma L. Stott, Nick F. Britton, James A. Glazier, Mark Zajac

We simulate the growth of a benign avascular tumour embedded in normal tissue, including cell sorting that occurs between tumour and normal cells, due to the variation of adhesion between different...

Foam Drainage: Extended Large-Q Potts Model Simulation (1996)

Yi Jiang, James A. Glazier

We study foam drainage using the large-Q Potts model extended to include gravity on a three dimensional lattice. Without adding liquid, homogeneously distributed liquid drains to the bottom of the...
