abstract = "Research in cell biology is steadily contributing new knowledge about  many different aspects of physiological processes like polymerization,  both with respect to the involved molecular structures as well as  their related function. Illustrations of the spatio-temporal development  of such processes are not only used in biomedical education, but  also can serve scientists as an additional platform for in-silico  experiments. In this paper, we contribute a new, three-level modeling  approach to illustrate physiological processes from the class of  polymerization at different time scales. We integrate physical and  empirical modeling, according to which approach suits the different  involved levels of detail best, and we additionally enable a simple  form of interactive steering while the process is illustrated. We  demonstrate the suitability of our approach in the context of several  polymerization processes and report from a first evaluation with  domain experts.",
