Recently, numerical simulations of a stochastic model have shown that the density of vessel tips in tumor induced angiogenesis adopts a soliton-like profile [Sci. Rep. 6, 31296 (2016)]. In this work, we derive and solve the equations for…
A recent conceptual model of tumor-driven angiogenesis including branching, elongation, and anastomosis of blood vessels captures some of the intrinsic multiscale structures of this complex system, yet allowing to extract a deterministic…
Angiogenesis is a multiscale process by which a primary blood vessel issues secondary vessel sprouts that reach regions lacking oxygen. Angiogenesis can be a natural process of organ growth and development or a pathological induced by a…
A coupled system of nonlinear mixed-type equations modeling early stages of angiogenesis is analyzed in a bounded domain. The system consists of stochastic differential equations describing the movement of the positions of the tip and stalk…
When modeling of tumor-driven angiogenesis, a major source of analytical and computational complexity is the strong coupling between the kinetic parameters of the relevant stochastic branching-and-growth of the capillary network, and the…
We study a system of particles in a two-dimensional geometry that move according to a reinforced random walk with transition probabilities dependent on the solutions of reaction-diffusion equations for the underlying fields. A birth process…
Complex biological processes involve collective behavior of entities (bacteria, cells, animals) over many length and time scales and can be described by discrete models that track individuals or by continuum models involving densities and…
In this work, we present a coupled 3D-1D model of solid tumor growth within a dynamically changing vascular network to facilitate realistic simulations of angiogenesis. Additionally, the model includes erosion of the extracellular matrix,…
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones in response to chemical signals secreted by, for example, a wound or a tumour. In this paper, we propose a mesoscopic lattice-based model of angiogenesis, in which…
Employing a novel two-dimensional computational model we have simulated the feedback between angiogenesis and tumor growth dynamics. Analyzing vessel formation and elongation towards the concentration gradient of the tumor-derived…
Computational atomic-scale methods continue to provide new information about geometry, energetics, and transition states for interstitial elements in crystalline lattices. This data can be used to determine the diffusivity of interstitials…
In the field of Life Sciences it it very common to deal with extremely complex systems, from both analytical and computational points of view, due to the unavoidable coupling of different interacting structures. As an example, angiogenesis…
Hypoxy induced angiogenesis processes can be described coupling an integrodifferential kinetic equation of Fokker-Planck type with a diffusion equation for the angiogenic factor. We propose high order positivity preserving schemes to…
We propose an alternative method for one-dimensional continuum diffusion models with spatially variable (heterogeneous) diffusivity. Our method, which extends recent work on stochastic diffusion, assumes the constant-coefficient homogenized…
We develop an agent-based model of vasculogenesis, the de novo formation of blood vessels. Endothelial cells in the vessel network are viewed as linearly elastic spheres and are of two types: vessel elements are contained within the…
We introduce a model of media with the cubic attractive nonlinearity concentrated along a single or double stripe in the two-dimensional (2D) plane. The model can be realized in terms of nonlinear optics (in the spatial and temporal domains…
Angiogenesis is a key process in the tumoral growth which allows the cancerous tissue to impact on its vasculature in order to improve the nutrient's supply and the metastatic process. In this paper, we introduce a model for the density of…
We study a simplified stochastic model for the vascularization of a growing tumor, incorporating the formation of new blood vessels at the tumor periphery as well as their regression in the tumor center. The resulting morphology of the…
A dispersion-managed optical system with step-wise periodical variation of dispersion is studied in a strong dispersion map limit in the framework of path-averaged Gabitov-Turitsyn equation. The soliton solution is obtained by iterating the…
In this study, we model avascular tumour growth in epithelial tissue. This can help us to get a macroscopic view of the interaction between the tumour with its surrounding microenvironment and the physical changes within the tumour…
