Abstract in brief

  • The 3D structure of cells is crucial for tissue function, and changes in this structure can occur during development and disease.
  • SimuCell3D is a new open-source program designed to efficiently simulate large, complex tissues in 3D while accounting for various factors like cell growth and mechanical differences.
  • This tool allows researchers to import real tissue geometries from images and explore how various biomechanical parameters influence cell shapes and organization in tissues like epithelia, enhancing our understanding of development and disease.
