How can a densely packed PSM tissue mechanically split up into a string of separate somites? Introduction Somitogenesis is the defining developmental process of vertebrate species and essential for the segmentation of the main body axis and, among other repetitive structures, the formation of vertebrae.

In our session on modeling platforms for multicellular systems biology at the recent ECMTB in Gothenburg, all major software platforms were presented including CompuCell3D, Chaste, VirtualLeaf, CellSys, BioCellion, VirtualLeaf and Morpheus.
