On Chemotaxis Models with Cell Population Interactions

Z. A. Wang (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

This paper extends the volume filling chemotaxis model [18, 26] by taking into account the cell population interactions. The extended chemotaxis models have nonlinear diffusion and chemotactic sensitivity depending on cell population density, which is a modification of the classical Keller-Segel model in which the diffusion and chemotactic sensitivity are constants (linear). The existence and boundedness of global solutions of these models are...

Dynamics of Erythroid Progenitors and Erythroleukemia

N. Bessonov, F. Crauste, I. Demin, V. Volpert (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to mathematical modelling of erythropoiesis, production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. We discuss intra-cellular regulatory networks which determine self-renewal and differentiation of erythroid progenitors. In the case of excessive self-renewal, immature cells can fill the bone marrow resulting in the development of leukemia. We introduce a parameter characterizing the strength of mutation. Depending on its value, leukemia will or will not develop. ...

Pattern Formation of Competing Microorganisms in Sediments

Y. Schmitz, M. Baurmann, B. Engelen, U. Feudel (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We present a three species model describing the degradation of substrate by two competing populations of microorganisms in a marine sediment. Considering diffusion to be the main transport process, we obtain a reaction diffusion system (RDS) which we study in terms of spontaneous pattern formation. We find that the conditions for patterns to evolve are likely to be fulfilled in the sediment. Additionally, we present simulations that are consistent with experimental data from the literature....
