Abstract

Multi-scale modelling
Biological systems comprise many structural levels represented by molecules, cell organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, populations and ecological levels. Each structural levels has its typical time and length scale from fs and nm on molecular level to km and years on ecological level. Multiscale modelling refers to mathematical models describing dynamics on different structural levels. Here, several structural levels and several scales may be accounted for either by a single equation or by multiple coupled equations each comprising only one scale. We present examples of both approaches.

In the first case, we present reaction diffusion systems for cardiac myocytes taking behaviour of individual ion channels into account and simulating whole cells at the same time. The mathematical problems and methods addressing them will be explained. For the second case, we introduce coupling of processes between intracellular, cellular and tissue scales. Such coupling requires that parameters of model processes on one scale get driven by the dynamical variables of model components at another scale. We demonstrate such model integration across multiple scales in the software framework Morpheus (https://morpheus.gitlab.io) and discuss the emergence of complex 'morphodynamic' behaviour that cannot be addressed by simpler models at a single scale.
