Abstract Background When grown in three-dimensional 3D cultures epithelial cells typically form cystic organoids that recapitulate cardinal features of in vivo epithelial structures. Characterizing essential cell actions and their roles which constitute the system s dynamic phenotype is critical to gaining deeper insight into the cystogenesis phenomena. Methods Starting with an earlier in silico epithelial analogue ISEAI that validated for several Madin-Darby canine kidney MDCK epithelial cell culture attributes we built a revised analogue
