Intensified Doxorubicin-Based Regimen Efficacy in Residual Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Disease: Towards a Computationally Supported Treatment Improvement

Y. Kogan, B. Ribba, K. Marron, N. Dahan, V. Vainstein, Z. Agur (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Despite recent advances, treatment of patients with aggressive Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL2) has yet to be optimally designed. Notwithstanding the contribution of molecular treatments, intensification of chemotherapeutic regimens may still be beneficial. Hoping to aid in the design of intensified chemotherapy, we put forward a mathematical and computational model that analyses the effect of Doxorubicin on NHL over a wide range of patho-physiological conditions. The model represents tumour growth...

Intracellular Modelling of Cell-Matrix Adhesion during Cancer Cell Invasion

V. Andasari, M.A.J. Chaplain (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

When invading the tissue, malignant tumour cells (i.e. cancer cells) need to detach from neighbouring cells, degrade the basement membrane, and migrate through the extracellular matrix. These processes require loss of cell-cell adhesion and enhancement of cell-matrix adhesion. In this paper we present a mathematical model of an intracellular pathway for the interactions between a cancer cell and the extracellular matrix. Cancer cells use similar...

Invariant subspaces for grasping internal forces and non-interacting force-motion control in robotic manipulation

Paolo Mercorelli (2012)

Kybernetika

This paper presents a parametrization of a feed-forward control based on structures of subspaces for a non-interacting regulation. With advances in technological development, robotics is increasingly being used in many industrial sectors, including medical applications (e. g., micro-manipulation of internal tissues or laparoscopy). Typical problems in robotics and general mechanisms may be mathematically formalized and analyzed, resulting in outcomes so general that it is possible to speak of structural...

Inverse modelling of image-based patient-specific blood vessels: zero-pressure geometry and in vivo stress incorporation

Joris Bols, Joris Degroote, Bram Trachet, Benedict Verhegghe, Patrick Segers, Jan Vierendeels (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In vivo visualization of cardiovascular structures is possible using medical images. However, one has to realize that the resulting 3D geometries correspond to in vivo conditions. This entails an internal stress state to be present in the in vivo measured geometry of e.g. a blood vessel due to the presence of the blood pressure. In order to correct for this in vivo stress, this paper presents an inverse method to restore the original zero-pressure geometry of a structure, and to recover the in vivo...

Investigation of the Migration/Proliferation Dichotomy and its Impact on Avascular Glioma Invasion

K. Böttger, H. Hatzikirou, A. Chauviere, A. Deutsch (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Gliomas are highly invasive brain tumors that exhibit high and spatially heterogeneous cell proliferation and motility rates. The interplay of proliferation and migration dynamics plays an important role in the invasion of these malignant tumors. We analyze the regulation of proliferation and migration processes with a lattice-gas cellular automaton (LGCA). We study and characterize the influence of the migration/proliferation dichotomy (also known...

Isomerism as Manifestation of Intrinsic Symmetry of Molecules: Lunn–Senior’s Theory

Iliev, Valentin (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This article presents the principal results of the doctoral thesis “Isomerism as internal symmetry of molecules” by Valentin Vankov Iliev (Institute of Mathematics and Informatics), successfully defended before the Specialised Academic Council for Informatics and Mathematical Modelling on 15 December, 2008.This paper is an extended review of our doctoral thesis “Isomerism as Intrinsic Symmetry of Molecules” in which we present, continue, generalize, and trace out Lunn–Senior’s theory of isomerism...

Když se matematika potká s biologií: matematická ekologie

Vlastimil Křivan (2017)

Pokroky matematiky, fyziky a astronomie

Článek se zabývá některými aplikacemi matematiky v ekologii. V historickém kontextu ukazuje, že jednak teoretické základy populační a evoluční ekologie využívají matematické metodologie založené na diferenciálních či diferenčních rovnicích, jednak ekologické problémy motivují vznik nových matematických disciplín, jako je např. evoluční teorie her.
