Hi Jesús,

Thanks for the email, this sounds like quite an interesting approach -
and, of course, great that you are using CellML for this :)

I'll forward this email to the cellml-discussion list as I believe
that it is of general interest to the community and also to a few
others that I know might be interested in electrophysiology
simulations.


Cheers,
David.
