Virtual Cell

A virtual cell is a digital representation of a biological cell, often used in scientific research and education. It simulates the various components and functions of a real cell, such as organelles, membranes, and biochemical processes. This allows scientists to study cellular behavior in a controlled environment, test hypotheses, and visualize complex interactions without the limitations of physical experiments. Virtual cells can be part of computer models or software applications, helping researchers and students understand cellular functions and diseases more effectively and enhancing collaboration across disciplines.
