Stem cell: from basic theoretical assumptions and mathematical concepts to the computational models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Stem cells (SC) and their therapeutic applications have a great promise for treatment of many human diseases, [1]. Characteristics of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) have been presented in [2]. The aim of the paper presented has been formulated as follows: to give some classical mechanics and mathematics theories for SC studies. Mathematical models for cancer diseases and neurological disorders have been discussed too.

Dynamic Hub Covering Problem with Flexible Covering Radius
Abstract One of the basic assumptions in hub covering problems is considering the covering radius as an exogenous parameter which cannot be controlled by the decision maker. Practically and in many real world cases with a negligible increase in costs, to increase the covering radii, it is possible to save the costs of establishing additional hub nodes. Change in problem parameters during the pl...
متن کاملComputational discrete models of tissue growth and regeneration
Tissue growth and regeneration are fundamental processes underpinning crucial physiological and pathological conditions: ranging from normal blood vessel network development, response to stem cells therapy and cancers. Modelling of such biological phenomena has been addressed through mathematical and algorithmic approaches. The former implements continuous representations based on differential ...
متن کاملa Comparative Theoretical Analysis for a Knitted Loop Model
The theory presented in this paper differs from previous ones in that no arbitrary loop shape is assumed. Rather a strophoid curve, that is similar to knitted fabric Loop shape, has been assumed as the basic mathematical function. Additionally, the theory is improved by adapting buckled elastic rod theory, leading to a new equation from a certain mathematical curve. This loop model is assumed t...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Integrating Cell Formation Problem with Machine Layout
This paper deals with the cellular manufacturing system (CMS) that is based on group technology concepts. CMS is defined as identifying the similar parts that are processed on the same machines and then grouping them as a cell. The most proposed models for solving CMS are focused on cell formation problem while machine layout is considered in few papers. This paper addresses a mathematical mo...
متن کاملThe effect of amniotic membrane extract on umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell expansion: is there any need to save the amniotic membrane besides the umbilical cord blood?
Objective(s): Umbilical cord blood is a good source of the mesenchymal stem cells that can be banked, expanded and used in regenerative medicine. The objective of this study was to test whether amniotic membrane extract, as a rich source of growth factors such as basic-fibroblast growth factor, can promote the proliferation potential of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Materials and ...
