Starting from a mesoscopic description of cell migration and intraspecific interactions we obtain by upscaling an effective reaction-difusion-taxis equation for the cell population density involving spatial nonlocalities in the source term…
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…
The acid-mediation hypothesis, that is, the hypothesis that acid produced by tumours, as a result of aerobic glycolysis, provides a mechanism for invasion, has so far been considered as a relatively closed system. The focus has mainly been…
We present multiscale models of cancer tumor invasion with components at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. We provide biological justifications for the model components, present computational results from the model, and discuss…
In this work, we introduce a variant of the Gatenby-Gawlinski model for acid-mediated tumor invasion in the one-dimensional experimental setting, accounting for heterogeneous diffusion of the lactic acid across the surrounding healthy…
In this paper, we study the global dynamics of a general reaction-diffusion model based on acid-mediated invasion hypothesis, which is a candidate explanation for the Warburg effect. A key feature of this model is the density-limited tumor…
In this paper we present a method for estimating unknown parameter that appear on a non-linear reaction-diffusion model of cancer invasion. This model considers that tumor-induced alteration of micro-enviromental pH provides a mechanism for…
In this paper we present a method for estimating unknown parameter that appear in a two dimensional nonlinear reaction-diffusion model of cancer invasion. This model considers that tumor-induced alteration of microenvironmental pH provides…
Known as one of the hallmarks of cancer [30], cancer cell invasion of human body tissue is a complicated spatio-temporal multiscale process which enables a localised solid tumour to transform into a systemic, metastatic and fatal disease.…
Acidosis in tumors arises from reprogrammed metabolism and compromised vasculature, creating a harsh, acidic microenvironment that drives the evolutionary selection of acid-resistant cell phenotypes. A mathematical model is proposed to…
In this paper, we propose a tumor growth model to incorporate and investigate the spatial effects of autophagy. The cells are classified into two phases: normal cells and autophagic cells, whose dynamics are also coupled with the nutrients.…
We present a mathematical analysis of a mixed ODE-PDE model describing the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of tumor and normal cells within a tissue subject to the effects of a chemotherapeutic drug. The model assumes that the…
In this paper, we study a well-posedness problem on a new mathematical model for cancer invasion within the plasminogen activation system, which explicitly incorporates cooperation with host normal cells. Key biological…
We consider a diffuse interface model for tumor growth consisting of a Cahn--Hilliard equation with source terms coupled to a reaction-diffusion equation, which models a tumor growing in the presence of a nutrient species and surrounded by…
We propose a mathematical model for tumor invasion supported by angiogenesis and interactions with the surrounding tissue. For the model deduction we employ a multiscale approach starting from lower scales and obtaining by an informal…
We present a problem-suited numerical method for a particularly challenging cancer invasion model. This model is a multiscale haptotaxis advection-reaction-diffusion system that describes the macroscopic dynamics of two types of cancer…
We formulate a cell-scale model for the degradation of the extra-cellular matrix by membrane-bound and soluble matrix degrading enzymes produced by cancer cells. Based on the microscopic model and using tools from the theory of…
We study the growth of an implanted a-vascular tumor seed in two-dimensions based on a model where the mechanism of invasion is centered on tumor-induced acidification of the micro-environment and consequent death of normal cells. The…
Hypoxia and acidity act as environmental stressors promoting selection for cancer cells with a more aggressive phenotype. As a result, a deeper theoretical understanding of the spatio-temporal processes that drive the adaptation of tumour…
Invasiveness, one of the hallmarks of tumor progression, represents the tumor's ability to expand into the host tissue by means of several complex biochemical and biomechanical processes. Since certain aspects of the problem present a…
