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...

Logistic equations in tumour growth modelling

Urszula Foryś, Anna Marciniak-Czochra (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The aim of this paper is to present some approaches to tumour growth modelling using the logistic equation. As the first approach the well-known ordinary differential equation is used to model the EAT in mice. For the same kind of tumour, a logistic equation with time delay is also used. As the second approach, a logistic equation with diffusion is proposed. In this case a delay argument in the reaction term is also considered. Some mathematical properties of the presented models are studied in...

Mathematical and Computational Models in Tumor Immunology

F. Pappalardo, A. Palladini, M. Pennisi, F. Castiglione, S. Motta (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The immune system is able to protect the host from tumor onset, and immune deficiencies are accompanied by an increased risk of cancer. Immunology is one of the fields in biology where the role of computational and mathematical modeling and analysis were recognized the earliest, beginning from 60s of the last century. We introduce the two most common methods in simulating the competition among the immune system, cancers and tumor immunology strategies:...

Mathematical and numerical analysis of a model for anti-angiogenic therapy in metastatic cancers

Sébastien Benzekry (2012)

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

We introduce a phenomenological model for anti-angiogenic therapy in the treatment of metastatic cancers. It is a structured transport equation with a nonlocal boundary condition describing the evolution of the density of metastases that we analyze first at the continuous level. We present the numerical analysis of a lagrangian scheme based on the characteristics whose convergence establishes existence of solutions. Then we prove an error estimate and use the model to perform interesting simulations...

Mathematical and numerical modeling of early atherosclerotic lesions***

Vincent Calvez, Jean Gabriel Houot, Nicolas Meunier, Annie Raoult, Gabriela Rusnakova (2010)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This article is devoted to the construction of a mathematical model describing the early formation of atherosclerotic lesions. The early stage of atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process that starts with the penetration of low density lipoproteins in the intima and with their oxidation. This phenomenon is closely linked to the local blood flow dynamics. Extending a previous work [5] that was mainly restricted to a one-dimensional setting, we couple...
