Agent-based modeling. (a) Lymphocytes infiltrating an urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. (b) Translation to an ABM. Cells move and interact in a grid. Each cell can occupy one grid space, while antibodies or cytokines have a continuous concentration at each grid space. (c) A simplified part of the underlying rules for the agents is shown.
