The SSC (self surviving cell) model is only a hypothetical cell; no such cells exist in nature. Thus, it was decided to model living cells so that the simulation results could be evaluated. Human erythrocytes were chosen for the model because intracellular metabolism is limited in human erythrocytes and because they do not replicate, transcribe or translate genes; also, there are already several studies on the modeling of erythrocyte. The construction of a prototype of human erythrocytes using the E-CELL System has been completed,this is referred to as VIRTUAL ERYTHROCYTES.
