Waves of Autocrine Signaling in Patterned Epithelia

C. B. Muratov, S. Y. Shvartsman (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

A biophysical model describing long-range cell-to-cell communication by a diffusible signal mediated by autocrine loops in developing epithelia in the presence of a morphogenetic pre-pattern is introduced. Under a number of approximations, the model reduces to a particular kind of bistable reaction-diffusion equation with strong heterogeneity. In the case of the heterogeneity in the form of a long strip a detailed analysis of signal propagation is...

Weighted Elastic Net Model for Mass Spectrometry Imaging Processing

D. Hong, F. Zhang (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In proteomics study, Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) is an emerging and very promising new technique for protein analysis from intact biological tissues. Though it has shown great potential and is very promising for rapid mapping of protein localization and the detection of sizeable differences in protein expression, challenges remain in data processing due to the difficulty of high dimensionality and the fact that the number of input variables in...

Widespread Immunity to Breast and Prostate Cancers is Predicted by a Novel Model that also Determines Sporadic and Hereditary Susceptible Population Sizes

I. Kramer (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Natural immunity to breast and prostate cancers is predicted by a novel, saturated ordered mutation model fitted to USA (SEER) incidence data, a prediction consistent with the latest ideas in immunosurveillance. For example, the prevalence of natural immunity to breast cancer in the white female risk population is predicted to be 76.5%; this immunity may be genetic and, therefore, inherited. The modeling also predicts that 6.9% of White Females are...
