Towards a multi-scale computational model of arterial adaptation in hypertension: verification of a multi-cell agent-based model

Agent-based models (ABMs) represent a novel approach to study and simulate complex mechano-chemo-biological responses at the cellular level. Such models have been used, for example, to simulate a variety of emergent responses in the vasculature, including angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Although no...
