Whole-Cell Computational Model of Mycoplasma genitalium
- The goal of this project was to develop the first detailed, "whole-cell" computational model of the entire life cycle of living organism, <i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i>. The model describes the dynamics of every molecule over the entire life cycle and accounts for the specific function of every annotated gene product.
We anticipate that whole-cell models will be critical for synthetic biology and personalized medicine. Please see the project website <a href="http://wholecell.org">wholecell.org</a> and the Downloads page to explore the whole-cell knowledge base and simulations and obtain the model code. | |

Practical Annotation and Exchange of Virtual Anatomy
- Representation of anatomy in a virtual form is at the heart of clinical decision making, biomedical research, and medical training. Virtual anatomy is not limited to description of geometry but also requires appropriate and efficient labeling of regions - to define spatial relationships and interactions between anatomical objects; effective strategies for pointwise operations - to define local properties, biological or otherwise; and support for diverse data formats and standards - to facilitate exchange between clinicians, scientists, engineers, and the general public. Development of aeva, a free and open source software package (library, user interfaces, extensions) capable of automated and interactive operations for virtual anatomy annotation and exchange, is in response to these currently unmet requirements. This site serves for aeva outreach, including dissemination the software and use cases. The use cases drive design and testing of aeva features and demonstrate various workflows that rely on virtual anatomy.

Are subject-specific musculoskeletal models robust to parameter identification?
- This study analyzed the sensitivity of the predictions of an MRI-based musculoskeletal model (i.e., joint angles, joint moments, muscle and joint contact forces) during walking to the unavoidable uncertainties in parameter identification, i.e., body landmark positions, maximum muscle tension and musculotendon geometry. To this aim, we created an MRI-based musculoskeletal model of the lower limbs, defined as a 7-segment, 10-degree-of-freedom articulated linkage, actuated by 84 musculotendon units. We then performed a Monte-Carlo probabilistic analysis perturbing model parameters according to their uncertainty, and solving a typical inverse dynamics and static optimization problem using 500 models that included the different sets of perturbed variable values. Model creation and gait simulations were performed by using freely available software that we developed to standardize the process of model creation, integrate with OpenSim and create probabilistic simulations of movement. | |

Ion Simulator Interface
- SimTK ISIM interface a simple Java graphical user interface for running the program ISIM. ISIM is package that simulates the thermodynamic ensemble of ions around a macromolecule using a grand canonical Monte Carlo scheme and simple hard sphere ion models. It is meant to provide an alternative mechanism to mean field approaches to allow the calculation of ion distributions around a highly charged molecule using a simple model that takes into account ion-ion correlations and steric interactions. The original source was created in the McCammon group at UCSD (http://mccammon.ucsd.edu/isim/). The version of ISIM used is available in the ISIM project on simtk.org. | |

Model of the Scapulothoracic Joint
- In this study, we developed a rigid-body model of a scapulothoracic joint to describe the kinematics of the scapula relative to the thorax. This model describes scapula kinematics with four degrees of freedom: 1) elevation and 2) abduction of the scapula on an ellipsoidal thoracic surface, 3) upward rotation of the scapula normal to the thoracic surface, and 4) internal rotation of the scapula to lift the medial border of the scapula off the surface of the thorax. The surface dimensions and joint axes can be customized to match an individual’s anthropometry. We compared the model to “gold standard” bone-pin kinematics collected during three shoulder tasks and found modeled scapula kinematics to be accurate to within 2 mm root-mean-squared error for individual bone-pin markers across all markers and movement tasks. As an additional test, we added random and systematic noise to the bone-pin marker data and found that the model reduced kinematic variability due to noise by 65% compared to Euler angles computed without the model. Our scapulothoracic joint model can be used for inverse and forward dynamics analyses and to compute joint reaction loads. The computational performance of the scapulothoracic joint model is well suited for real-time applications, is freely available as an OpenSim 3.2 plugin, and is customizable and usable with other OpenSim models. | |

BlurLab -- 3D Microscopy Simulation Package
- BlurLab is an easy to use platform for generating simulated fluorescence microscopy data for use in mechanistic modeling visualization, image comparison, and hypothesis testing. The software accepts the 3D positions, intensities and labels of fluorescing objects that are produced by an underlying mechanistic model and transforms them into high quality simulated images. The program includes full 3D convolution with realistic (or even measured) point spread functions; inclusion of thermal, shot and custom noise spectra; simulations of mean and fully stochastic photobleacing; the ability to view scenes in wide-field and TIRF, and perform Z-slicing; and the ability to simulate FRAP experiments.
The software provides a platform for adjusting and saving these simulated images, as well as a number of helpful, semi-automated features to make image simulation easy and less error prone. | |

Simbody: Multibody Physics API
- This project is a SimTK toolset providing general multibody dynamics capability, that is, the ability to solve Newton's 2nd law F=ma in any set of generalized coordinates subject to arbitrary constraints. (That's Isaac himself in the oval.) Simbody is provided as an open source, object-oriented C++ API and delivers high-performance, accuracy-controlled science/engineering-quality results.
Simbody uses an advanced Featherstone-style formulation of rigid body mechanics to provide results in Order(<em>n</em>) time for any set of <em>n</em> generalized coordinates. This can be used for internal coordinate modeling of molecules, or for coarse-grained models based on larger chunks. It is also useful for large-scale mechanical models, such as neuromuscular models of human gait, robotics, avatars, and animation. Simbody can also be used in real time interactive applications for biosimulation as well as for virtual worlds and games.
This toolset was developed originally by Michael Sherman at the Simbios Center at Stanford, with major contributions from Peter Eastman and others. Simbody descends directly from the public domain NIH Internal Variable Dynamics Module (IVM) facility for molecular dynamics developed and kindly provided by Charles Schwieters. IVM is in turn based on the spatial operator algebra of Rodriguez and Jain from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and Simbody has adopted that formulation.
<b>SOURCE CODE:</b> Simbody is distributed in source form. The source code is maintained at <a href="https://www.github.com/simbody">GitHub</a>.

Musculoskeletal Representation of Large Repertoires of Hand Grasping in Primates
- The project aims to investigate and characterize the complex function of the primate hand at the musculoskeletal level. The OpenSim models used in this project enabled extracting joint angles from 27 degrees of freedom as well as length of 50 musculotendon units in the hand and upper extremity. Results demonstrated both a more compact representation and a higher decoding capacity of grasping tasks when movements were expressed in the muscle kinematics domain than when expressed in the joint kinematics domain. The OpenSim models in the project were adapted from the upper extremity model by Holzbaur et al., Ann.Biomed. Eng., 2005. | |

Studying Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strains in Young Female Athletes
- The central goal of this study is to contribute toward advancements made in determining the underlying causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in young female athletes performing high impact activities like stop jumps. ACL injuries are frequently incurred by recreational and professional young female athletes during non-contact impact activities in sports like volleyball and basketball. This musculoskeletal-neuromuscular study investigated stop jumps and factors related to ACL injury like knee valgus and internal–external rotations and moment loads, as well as ACL strains and internal forces. The dynamic simulation steps undertaken for this analysis using OpenSim 3.2 include Model Scaling, Inverse Kinematics, Residual Reduction, Computed Muscle Control and Forward Dynamics. | |

Analysis of arm swing during human walking
- This project provides a simplified version of the UpperLowerBodySimple model from the ULB-project, which was adjusted with the purpose to decrease the run time of the simulations.
The adjusted model was used to determine arm swing kinematics (with and without muscle excitations) during human walking, with arm movements not exceeding 70 degrees of anteflexion or abduction. However, the adjusted_ULB model can be used for modeling and simulating kinematics and kinetics of all neuromusculoskeletal systems.
For an example of an arm swing simulation without muscle excitation we refer to the video below.

Fiber Tractography for Finite-Element Modeling of Transversely Isotropic Tissues
- This project demonstrates the process for fiber tractography of complex biological tissues with transverse isotropy, such as tendon and muscle. This is important for finite element studies of these tissues, as the fiber direction must be specified in the constitutive model. This project contains code, models, and data that can be used to reproduce the results of our publication on this technique. The supplied instructional videos will enable researchers to easily and efficiently apply this method to a variety of other tissues. The software used in the fiber tractography process and demonstrated in this project is Matlab, Autodesk Inventor (free for educators), and Autodesk Simulation CFD (free for educators).

ViewCommonPaths Application
- The ViewCommonPaths program helps to simultaneously visualize a set of numeric sequences that have the same start and end elements by drawing them into a common directed acyclic graph (DAG). In particular, ViewCommonPaths helps to simultaneously visualize a set of allosteric communication paths with the same start and end residues. Given a set of allosteric paths (each a sequence of residues), ViewCommonPaths creates a DAG from the set of individual pathways and allows a quick visual analysis of these pathways and the relationships among the residues along these paths. | |
