ATP Production and Necrosis Formation in a Tumour Spheroid Model

A. Bertuzzi, A. Fasano, A. Gandolfi, C. Sinisgalli (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Mathematical models of tumour spheroids, proposed since the early seventies, have been generally formulated in terms of a single diffusive nutrient which is critical for cell replication and cell viability. Only recently, attempts have been made to incorporate in the models the cell energy metabolism, by considering the interplay between glucose, oxygen and lactate (or pH). By assuming glucose and lactate as the only fuel substrates, we propose a simple model for the cell ATP production...

Analysis of immunotherapy models in the context of cancer dynamics

Zuzanna Szymańska (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A basic mathematical model of the immune response when cancer cells are recognized is proposed. The model consists of six ordinary differential equations. It is extended by taking into account two types of immunotherapy: active immunotherapy and adoptive immunotherapy. An analysis of the corresponding models is made to answer the question which of the presented methods of immunotherapy is better. The analysis is completed by numerical simulations which show that the method of adoptive...
