A Hybrid Model Describing Different Morphologies of Tumor Invasion Fronts

M. SciannaL. Preziosi — 2012

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The invasive capability is fundamental in determining the malignancy of a solid tumor. Revealing biomedical strategies that are able to partially decrease cancer invasiveness is therefore an important approach in the treatment of the disease and has given rise to multiple and models. We here develop a hybrid computational framework, whose aim is to characterize the effects of the different cellular and subcellular mechanisms involved in the invasion...

Individual Cell-Based Model for In-Vitro Mesothelial Invasion of Ovarian Cancer

C. GiversoM. SciannaL. PreziosiN. Lo BuonoA. Funaro — 2010

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In vitro transmesothelial migration assays of ovarian cancer cells, isolated or aggregated in multicellular spheroids, are reproduced deducing suitable Cellular Potts Models (CPM). We show that the simulations are in good agreement with the experimental evidence and that the overall process is regulated by the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and by the interplay of the adhesive properties of the cells with the extracellular matrix and...
