Many natural objects, including most objects studied in pathology, have complex structural
characteristics and the complexity of their structures, for example the degree of branching of …

OBJECTIVES: To systematically review applications of fractal geometry in different aspects
of dental practice. In this first part of the review, we present a short introduction to fractals …

Identification of various constituent layers such as epithelial, subepithelial, and keratin of
oral mucosa and characterization of keratin pearls within keratin region as well, are the …

The growth of a cultivated typical brain tumor is studied in this work. The tumor is analyzed
both dynamically and morphologically. We have measured its fractal dimension to be df …

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are emerging cancer immunotherapy. Despite notable successes in
the treatment of some tumors, OV therapy for central nervous system cancers has failed to …

Cancer is a highly complex disease due to the disruption of tissue architecture. Thus,
tissues, and not individual cells, are the proper level of observation for the study of …

In this paper we consider a simple continuous model to describe cell invasion, incorporating
the effects of both cell–cell adhesion and cell–matrix adhesion, along with cell growth and …

The interfacial interactions between epithelia and cancer cells have profound relevance for
tumor development and metastasis. Through monolayer confrontation of MCF10A …

We have developed an off-lattice hybrid discrete-continuum (OLHDC) model of tumor growth
and invasion. The continuum part of the OLHDC model describes microenvironmental …

This study explores the use of fractal analysis in the numerical description of chromatin
appearance in breast cytology. Images of nuclei from fine‐needle aspiration biopsies of the …
