This paper studies asymptotic behavior of solutions of a free boundary problem modeling the growth of tumors with two species of cells: proliferating cells and quiecent cells. In previous literatures it has been proved that this problem has…
We consider the Neumann problem for a coupled chemotaxis-haptotaxis model of cancer invasion with/without kinetic source in a 2D bounded and smooth domain. For a large class of cell kinetic sources including zero source and sub-logistic…
This paper studies an evolving bulk--surface finite element method for a model of tissue growth, which is a modification of the model of Eyles, King and Styles (2019). The model couples a Poisson equation on the domain with a forced mean…
With the Lattice Boltzmann method (using the BGK approximation) we investigate the dynamics of Hele-Shaw flow under conditions corresponding to various experimental systems. We discuss the onset of the instability (dispersion relation), the…
The formal sharp-interface asymptotics in a degenerate Cahn-Hilliard model for viscoelastic phase separation with cross-diffusive coupling to a bulk stress variable are shown to lead to non-local lower-order counterparts of the classical…
We investigate morphologies of proliferating cellular tissue using a newly developed numerical simulation model for mechanical cell division. The model reproduces structures of simple multi-cellular organisms via simple rules for selective…
The acid-mediated tumor invasion hypothesis proposes that altered glucose metabolism exhibited by the vast majority of tumors leads to increased acid (H+ ion) production which subsequently facilitates tumor invasion [1-3]. The…
We consider a phase-field system modelling solid tumour growth. This system consists of a Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with a nutrient equation. The former is characterised by a degenerate mobility and a singular potential. Both equations…
Mathematical models describing the spatial spreading and invasion of populations of biological cells are often developed in a continuum modelling framework using reaction-diffusion equations. While continuum models based on linear diffusion…
The first stages of finger formation in a Hele-Shaw cell with lifting plates are investigated by means of linear stability analysis. The equation of motion for the pressure field (growth law) results to be that of the directional…
Understanding the untreated tumor growth kinetics and its intrinsic findings is interesting and intriguing. The aim of this study is to propose an approximate analytical expression that allows to simulate changes in surface charge density…
A two-phase Hele-Show problem with a time-dependent gap describes the evolution of the interface, which separates two fluids sandwiched between two plates. The fluids have different viscosities. In addition to the change in the gap width of…
We study the spreading and leveling of a gravity current in a Hele-Shaw cell with flow-wise width variations as an analog for flow {in fractures and horizontally heterogeneous aquifers}. Using phase-plane analysis, we obtain second-kind…
Strong experimental evidence has indicated that tumor growth belongs to the molecular beam epitaxy universality class. This type of growth is characterized by the constraint of cell proliferation to the tumor border, and surface diffusion…
Central to the quest for a deeper understanding of the cancer growth and spread process, the naturally multiscale character of cancer invasion demands appropriate multiscale modelling and analysis approach. The cross-talk between the tissue…
In this work we present a flexible tool for tumor progression, which simulates the evolutionary dynamics of cancer. Tumor progression implements a multi-type branching process where the key parameters are the fitness landscape, the mutation…
We present in this paper an experimental study of the invasion activity during unstable drainage in a 2D random porous medium, when the (wetting) displaced fluid has a high viscosity with respect to that of the (non-wetting) displacing…
Nonlinear time-dependent differential equations for the Hele-Shaw, Saffman-Taylor problem are derived. The equations are obtained using a separable ansatz expansion for the stream function of the displaced fluid obeying a Darcian flow.…
Chronic wounds represent a major public health problem affecting 6.5 million people in the United States. Ischemia represents a serious complicating factor in wound healing. In this paper we analyze a recently developed mathematical model…
Tumor development is an evolutionary process in which a heterogeneous population of cells with differential growth capabilities compete for resources in order to gain a proliferative advantage. What are the minimal ingredients needed to…
