Virtual-tissue modeling is used to model emergent cyst growth in polycystic kidney disease. Model predictions, confirmed experimentally, show that decreased cell adhesion is necessary to produce stalk cysts, and loss of contact inhibition causes saccular cysts. Virtual-tissue modeling can be used to fully explore cell- and tissue-based behaviors.
Virtual-tissue computer simulations define the roles of cell adhesion and proliferation in the onset of kidney cystic disease
