A 2-dimensional simulation model for the Toxoplasma-infected dendritic cell migration in a straight channel to study the host-parasite intracellular positioning. This repository includes:
- The LAMMPS software with a customized package for the simulation model.
- Example results of simulations and videos. Detailed instructions for running the simulation can be found in ./LAMMPS/src/MYFIX/ReadMe.txt.
