A hybrid mathematical model of solid tumour invasion: the importance of cell adhesion

Alexander R.A. Anderson · 22 Mar 2005

In this paper we present a hybrid mathematical model of the invasion of healthy tissue by a solid tumour. In particular we consider early vascular growth, just after angiogenesis has occurred. We examine how the geometry of the growing tumour is affected by tumour cell heterogeneity caused by genetic mutations. As the tumour grows, mutations…

A Preliminary Study of the Transmission Dynamics of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the Causative Agent of AIDS

Roy M. Anderson, Graham F. Medley, Robert M. May et al. · 1 Jan 1986

The paper describes some preliminary attempts to formulate simple mathematical models of the transmission dynamics of HIV infection in homosexual communities. In conjunction with a survey of the available epidemiological data on HIV infection and the incidence of AIDS, the models are used to assess how various processes influence the course of the initial epidemic…

An Age-Structured Model of Pre- and Post-Vaccination Measles Transmission

D. Schenzle · 1 Jan 1984

An infection like measles does not spread uniformly in populations from Europe and North America. Of special importance is a pronounced age-dependency in the contact rates, because of increased infection transmission within schools. Therefore an age-structured epidemiologic model is investigated here, which also pays attention to the fact that children are promoted grade-wise into and…

Modelling solid tumour growth using the theory of mixtures

Helen M. Byrne · 1 Dec 2003

In this paper the theory of mixtures is used to develop a two-phase model of an avascular tumour, which comprises a solid, cellular, phase and a liquid phase. Mass and momentum balances which are used to derive the governing equations are supplemented by constitutive laws that distinguish the two phases and enable the stresses within…

'Go or Grow': the key to the emergence of invasion in tumour progression?

Haralampos Hatzikirou, David Basanta, Matthias Simon et al. · 7 Jul 2010

Uncontrolled proliferation and abnormal cell migration are two of the main characteristics of tumour growth. Of ultimate importance is the question what are the mechanisms that trigger the progression from benign neoplasms (uncontrolled/autonomous proliferation) to malignant invasive tumours (high migration). In the following, we challenge the currently prevailing view that the emergence of invasiveness is…
