AI virtual cell (AIVC)
Also known as: AIVC · virtual cell
Model intended to simulate how cell states change under perturbations. Bunne et al. (Cell, 2024) define it as built on multimodal, multiscale, universal cell representations acting as a “virtual instrument”; it remains a research goal rather than a validated tool. VC0001 VC0131
