The movement of organisms and cells can be governed by occasional long distance runs, according to an approximate L\'evy walk. For T cells migrating through chronically-infected brain tissue, runs are further interrupted by long pauses, and…

The spread of metastases is a crucial process in which some questions remain unanswered. In this work, we focus on tumor cells circulating in the bloodstream, the so-called Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs). Our aim is to characterize their…

In this work, we develop a structure-preserving numerical scheme for a Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model that describes tumor growth in a fluid-saturated porous medium. First, we derive a physically consistent model from the general framework…

The long range movement of certain organisms in the presence of a chemoattractant can be governed by long distance runs, according to an approximate Levy distribution. This article clarifies the form of biologically relevant model…

Understanding biological phenomena requires a systemic approach that incorporates different mechanisms acting on different spatial and temporal scales, since in organisms the workings of all components, such as organelles, cells, and organs…

This paper investigates an optimal control problem associated with a two-dimensional multi-species Cahn-Hilliard-Keller-Segel tumor growth model, which incorporates complex biological processes such as species diffusion, chemotaxis,…

Recent progress in microdissection and in DNA sequencing has enabled subsampling of multi-focal cancers in organs such as the liver in several hundred spots, helping to determine the pattern of mutations in each of these spots. This has led…

Knowledge regarding the kinetics of metastatic tumor formation, as related to the growth of the primary tumor, represents a fundamental issue in cancer biology. Using an in vivo mammalian model, we show here that one can obtain useful…

In this work, we present and analyze a system of PDEs, which models tumor growth by considering chemotaxis, active transport, and random effects. The stochasticity of the system is modelled by random initial data and Wiener noises that…

In this work, we consider a diffuse interface model for tumour growth in the presence of a nutrient which is consumed by the tumour. The system of equations consists of a Cahn--Hilliard equation with source terms for the tumour cells and a…

The dynamics between healthy and malignant cells at the avascular stage of growth is described by a set of chemical reactions representing the populations of both types of cells. We obtain a generalization of the logistic-Gompertz dynamics…

This paper deals with the micro-macro derivation of virus models coupled with a reaction diffusion models that generates the dynamics in space of the virus particles. The first part of the presentation focuses, starting from [5, 6] on a…

Mathematical models of motility are often based on random-walk descriptions of discrete individuals that can move according to certain rules. It is usually the case that large masses concentrated in small regions of space have a great…

Among the main actors of organism development there are morphogens, which are signaling molecules diffusing in the developing organism and acting on cells to produce local responses. Growth is thus determined by the distribution of such…

We develop a new four-phase tumor growth model with angiogenesis, derived from a diffuse-interface mixture model composed by a viable, a necrotic, a liquid and an angiogenetic component, coupled with two massless chemicals representing a…

The reaction diffusion equation arises in physical situations in problems from population growth, genetics and physical sciences. We consider the generalised Fisher equation in cylindrical coordinates from Lie theory stand point. An…

First, we revisit the stochastic Luria-Delbr\"uck model: a classic two-type branching process which describes cell proliferation and mutation. We prove limit theorems and exact results for the mutation times, clone sizes, and number of…

Convection-diffusion equation is used to describe particle migration process in many fields, while it is proposed based on the empirical Fick's law. In this paper, with the help of the percolation model, we theoretically investigate the…

Cellular membranes are elastic lipid bilayers that contain a variety of proteins, including ion channels, receptors, and scaffolding proteins. These proteins are known to diffuse in the plane of the membrane and to influence the bending of…

This paper considers particle propagation in a cylindrical molecular communication channel, e.g. a simplified model of a blood vessel. Emitted particles are influenced by diffusion, flow, and a vertical force induced e.g. by gravity or…
