A review of mathematical models for the formation of vascular networks

M Scianna, CG Bell, L Preziosi - Journal of theoretical biology, 2013 - Elsevier
Two major mechanisms are involved in the formation of blood vasculature: vasculogenesis
and angiogenesis. The former term describes the formation of a capillary-like network from …

In this article, we present a new multiscale mathematical model for solid tumour growth
which couples an improved model of tumour invasion with a model of tumour-induced …

Nonlinear simulations of solid tumor growth using a mixture model: invasion and branching

V Cristini, X Li, JS Lowengrub, SM Wise - Journal of mathematical biology, 2009 - Springer
We develop a thermodynamically consistent mixture model for avascular solid tumor growth
which takes into account the effects of cell-to-cell adhesion, and taxis inducing chemical and …

The effect of interstitial pressure on tumor growth: coupling with the blood and lymphatic vascular systems

M Wu, HB Frieboes, SR McDougall… - Journal of theoretical …, 2013 - Elsevier
The flow of interstitial fluid and the associated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) in solid tumors
and surrounding host tissues have been identified as critical elements in cancer growth and …
