What is it about?
Mathematical models are increasingly used to perform virtual experiments on cellular systems. In this paper we discuss 10 crucial steps of the generic process to go from a basic understanding of the cellular system to a fully developed and analysed mathematical model.

Why is it important?
The 10 steps provide an educational introduction into the world of mathematical models, which are exciting tools to test hypotheses and perform virtual experiments, many orders of magnitude faster than real experiments.
Perspectives
Writing this article - a topic all authors are very excited about - with the developers of the VCell software was a great pleasure.
