What’s new with MEDYAN.jl: A Coarse-Grained Cytoskeleton Simulator
Nathan Zimmerberg
MEDYAN.jl is a framework for modeling the cytoskeletal filaments and associated proteins that shape and move cells. New declarative rules for dynamic mechanical and chemical bonds, accelerated by new spatial data structures, enable simulations as large as a whole T-cell or as detailed as the individual reactions in a motor protein step. These improvements help bridge the gap between single molecules and cell behavior on timescales of minutes and length scales of micrometers.
