BOSTON, Mass. – May 28, 2009 – Plectix BioSystems, Inc. today introduced the Insulin Signaling cBook in Cellucidate, a web-based workspace for cell biology. Presented in Cellucidate’s flexible, interactive and intuitive cBook format, the content is designed to give a mechanistic view of the complex biology of insulin signaling. This new perspective not only vividly illustrates the canonical view of the insulin signaling network, but provides live, working models that researchers can edit and run with their own experimental data. The Insulin Signaling cBook also includes an experimental chapter that allows users to explore different scenarios that can be generated by modifying the rules and parameters of the insulin signaling model.

Plectix will be participating in the American Diabetes Association 69th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans June 5 -9. Researchers interested in exploring the Insulin Signaling cBook can see it demonstrated live in Booth #1652 or visit www.cellucidate.com/insulin.
