Abstract

Mechanistic models are an important tool to gain insights about the quantitative behavior of cell-biological signal transduction networks. Here we show how Simmune can be used in conjunction with IPython to create repeatable, self-contained analyses of signal transduction processes in spatially inhomogeneous environments.

Keywords: GPCR signaling; Gradient sensing; IPython; Mechanistic modeling.
