Flowchart of the model algorithm.
The user defines the basement membrane area and the number of cells introduced. Each cell contains variables (shown in the black box), which include an identification number, location (randomly generated), cycle position (randomly generated) and cell type (user defined). Each cell goes through a set of rules for division and differentiation. The physical solver then resolves the forces between neighbouring cells.
