While I was eating a Chipotle burrito at my desk, I did a little web surfing. Earlier in the week, I found a paper titled Executable cell biology, by Fisher and Henzinger, so I thought I'd follow up. I found the home page for Jasmin Fisher, then took a look at her publications. She has one coming out in the new issue of IEEE/ACM TCBB, but it's not available online (yet).
I did some more clicking and searching, and somehow ended up on a paper by Honda and Nagai, et al, titled Computer simulation of emerging asymmetry in the mouse blastocyst. That article is interesting, but complex, so I followed the citations back in time. They published an article on their 3D vertex dynamics cell model in 2004, and the 2D model in 2001.
Looking at some of the citations, Honda has been at this a while, as some of the citations are nearly 20 years old. Some of the other citations also looked interesting, so I'll have to follow up on them one of these days.
Anyway, the 2D model looks like an interesting thing to try and implement before I try to implement a 3D model - 2D graphics are quite a bit easier.
