Mutations can arise from the chance misincorporation of nucleotides during DNA replication or from DNA lesions that are not repaired correctly. We introduce a model that relates the source of mutations to their accumulation with cell…
The logistic differential equation is used to analyze cancer cell population, in the presence of a correlated Gaussian white noise. We study the steady state properties of tumor cell growth and discuss the effects of the correlated noise.…
The interactions between tumor cells and the immune system play a crucial role in cancer evolution. In this study, we explore how these interactions influence cancer progression by modeling the relationships among naive T cells, effector T…
The proliferation and migration dichotomy of the tumor cell invasion is examined within a two-component continuous time random walk (CTRW) model. The balance equations for the cancer cells of two phenotypes with random switching between…
Tumor growth has long been a target of investigation within the context of mathematical and computer modelling. The objective of this study is to propose and analyze a two-dimensional probabilistic cellular automata model to describe…
We study a stochastic phase-field model for tumor growth dynamics coupling a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation for the tumor phase parameter with a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation governing the nutrient proportion. We prove strong…
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), also known as the circadian master clock, consists of a large population of oscillator neurons. Together, these neurons produce a coherent signal that drives the body's circadian rhythms. What properties…
We study the joint effect of thermal bath fluctuations and an external noise tuning activity of cytotoxic cells on the triggered immune response in a growing cancerous tissue. The immune response is assumed to be primarily mediated by…
The large scale behaviour of a population of cells that grow and interact through the concentration field of the chemicals they secrete is studied using dynamical renormalization group methods. The combination of the effective long-range…
Cancer cells co-cultured in vitro reveal unexpected differential growth rates that classical exponential growth models cannot account for. Two non-interacting cell lines were grown in the same culture, and counts of each species were…
Nearly all circadian clocks maintain a period that is insensitive to temperature changes, a phenomenon known as temperature compensation (TC). Yet, it is unclear whether there is any common feature among different systems that exhibit TC.…
Circadian rhythms regulate the physiology and behavior of humans and animals. Despite advancements in understanding these rhythms and predicting circadian phases at the transcriptional level, predicting circadian phases from proteomic data…
Mechanical models for tumor growth have been used extensively in recent years for the analysis of medical observations and for the prediction of cancer evolution based on imaging analysis. This work deals with the numerical approximation of…
The influence of random fluctuations on the recruitment of effector cells towards a tumor is studied by means of a stochastic mathematical model. Aggressively growing tumors are confronted against varying intensities of the cell-mediated…
We consider a three-state model comprising tumor cells, effector cells and tumor detecting cells under the influence of noises. It is demonstrated that inevitable stochastic forces existing in all three cell species are able to suppress…
During the last decades, medical observations and multiscale data concerning tumor growth are mounting. At the same time, contemporary imaging techniques well established in clinical practice, provide a variety of information on real-time,…
A wide range of organisms use circadian clocks to keep internal sense of daily time and regulate their behavior accordingly. Most of these clocks use intracellular genetic networks based on positive and negative regulatory elements. The…
Populations can evolve in order to adapt to external changes. The capacity to evolve and adapt makes successful treatment of infectious diseases and cancer difficult. Indeed, therapy resistance has quickly become a key challenge for global…
The circadian clock can adapt itself to external cues, but the molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks governing circadian oscillations' transient adjustments are still largely unknown. Here we consider the specific case of circadian…
In this article we shall trace the historical development of tumour growth laws, which in a quantitative fashion describe the increase in tumour mass/volume over time. These models are usually formulated in terms of differential equations…
