Behavior of cell modules in a point source chemotactic field in two and three dimensions. (A) The chemokine concentration in a 2-D plan (400 mm by 400 mm) following a Gaussian distribution. (B) The trajectories of 4 cell modules, each starting from one of the corners of this 2-D plan. (C) The concentration profile of chemokine of the middle section through the 3-D tissue volume. (D) The trajectories of 8 cell modules starting from the corners of the 3-D tissue. This simple simulation of cell chemotaxis involves the interaction between the Motility (as part of Cell), Soluble factor and Diffusion (as part of Environment) classes in the system. (B) and (D) were generated by simply changing the "dim" template argument, as an example of the generic programming abilities afforded by the C++ language and built into the system.
