A three-dimensional finite element model of cAMP signals
This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element model for cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling. Governing equations for the synthesis, diffusion, and degradation of cAMP were numerically implemented using the finite element method. Simulated results were displayed as time course pl...
