Fig 1. Overall structure of the model.

Fig 1

Schema representing the arrangement of models at three spatial scales. Cells are represented by discrete, autonomous agents that can differentiate into different subtypes, divide, and die. Each cell contains a constraint-based metabolic model for each phenotype and a logical model of signaling and gene regulatory pathways. The agents themselves reside in and travel between three isotropic compartments. Each compartment is associated with a set of cytokine concentrations, modeled by ordinary differential equations, that affect and are affected by the agents.
