In multiscale modelling in developmental biology, boundary conditions are used to examples from physics and biology, macroscale properties are often modelled via continuum boundaries that organize and constrain lower-scale processes (Noble 2012). conditions for lower-level models.	./cache/work_6h2wpwxlsbbovpxxoe3tkt6mqi.pdf	./txt/work_6h2wpwxlsbbovpxxoe3tkt6mqi.txt
