N2 - Computer simulation techniques form a versatile tool, a computational microscope, for exploring biological processes. This tool has been particularly effective in exploring different features of biological membranes. In recent years, thanks to elegant multiscale simulation schemes, some fundamental limitations of investigations by distinct simulation techniques have been resolved. As a result, we are now capable of exploring processes spanning multiple scales beyond the capacity of any single technique. In this perspective, we argue that mesoscale simulations require more attention and must be further developed to fill evident gaps in a quest toward simulating and modeling living cell membranes.
