By verifying a cell-based computer model that replicates the mechanics of muscle and tissue against in vitro tests, researchers have brought us a step closer to the era of personalised medicine.

Researchers have developed what they refer to as a ‘Virtual Artery’, a multiscale model incorporating data from physics, chemistry and biology. The team has managed to replicate single cell activity in the arterial wall (endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells) and in the flowing blood (red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells).
