A Mathematical Model for Microenvironmental Control of Tumor Growth
— One of the most intriguing questions related to cancer is why approximately two out of three people never develop cancer? It has been proposed that this variability in cancer resistance may be due to differences in the efficiency of certain protective mechanisms, which are known to inhibit the growth of neoplastic cells. Here we focus on the mechanism known as microenvironmental control. The...
متن کاملEvolving wormhole geometries
In the last two decades, there has been a revival on the study of classical wormhole solutions either in General Relativity (GR) or in alternative theories of gravitation. A cornerstone in this revival has been the paper of Morris and Thorne [1] in which, they derived the properties that a space-time must have in order to hold up such a geometry. Let us recall that the most salient feature of t...
متن کاملDiffuse photon propagation in multilayered geometries.
Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is an emerging functional medical imaging modality which aims to recover the optical properties of biological tissue. The forward problem of the light propagation of DOT can be modelled in the frequency domain as a diffusion equation with Robin boundary conditions. In the case of multilayered geometries with piecewise constant parameters, the forward problem is ...
متن کاملMicroenvironmental protection in diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma.
The recent coming of age of genomic techniques and bioinformatics tools has led to an unprece dented proliferation of publications on genome wide association studies and expression profiling for use in genetic analysis, molecular classifica tion, and prognostication of various diseases. Such reports, however, have often resulted in confusion and, at times, disappointment. The use of expen s...
متن کاملAnalysis of a diffuse interfacemodel of multispecies tumor growth
We consider a diffuse interface model for tumor growth recently proposed in [3]. In this new approach sharp interfaces are replaced by narrow transition layers arising due to adhesive forces among the cell species. Hence, a continuum thermodynamically consistent model is introduced. The resulting PDE system couples four different types of equations: a Cahn-Hilliard type equation for the tumor c...
