/. FiReaNGeL writes “Scientists have constructed a software capable of simulating organisms at the molecular, single-cell and population levels. The program, called AgentCell, will soon be available, open sourced under a BSD license. “With AgentCell we can simulate the behavior of entire populations of cells as they sense their environment, respond to stimuli and move in a three-dimensional world”. The researchers have designed their digital bacterial system in modules, so that additional components may be added later – “The hope is that people will modify the code or add some new capabilities”. AgentCell has possible applications in cancer research, drug development and combating bioterrorism. Lots of movies and pictures are available, along with a detailed press release describing the program.”
