Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

The maintenance of a stable stem cell population in the epidermis is important for robust regeneration of the stratified epithelium. The population size is usually regulated by cell secreted extracellular signalling molecules as well as intracellular molecules. In this paper, a simple model incorporating both levels of regulation is developed to examine the balance between growth and differentiation for the stem cell population. In particular, the dynamics of a known differentiation regulator...

On the Mathematical Modelling of Complex Biological Systems. A Kinetic Theory Approach

Marcello Delitala (2008)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

This paper deals with the mathematical modelling, based on the kinetic theory of active particles, of a complex biological living system constituted by different populations of cells. The modelling refers to the competition between immune and tumor cells. Moreover, a qualitative and quantitative analysis is developed, to show how the models can describe several interesting phenomena related to biological applications. A final section highlights further research perspectives related to...

Mathematical modeling of the competition between acquired immunity and cancer

Mikhail Kolev (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this paper we propose and analyse a model of the competition between cancer and the acquired immune system. The model is a system of integro-differential bilinear equations. The role of the humoral response is analyzed. The simulations are related to the immunotherapy of tumors with antibodies.
