descriptive
Analysis v1
Because this model includes detailed blood vessel and kidney cell features, it can simulate diseases and test drug effects.
Scientific Claim
The model's explicit representation of vasculature and epithelia properties allows simulation of pathophysiological conditions and pharmacological interventions.
Original Statement
“Since the properties of the vasculature and epithelia are explicitly represented, they can be altered to simulate pathophysiological conditions and pharmacological interventions.”
