Multiphase modeling of tumor growth with matrix remodeling and fibrosis

We present a multiphase mathematical model for tumor growth which incorporates the remodeling of the extracellular matrix and describes the formation of fibrotic tissue by tumor cells. We also detail a full qualitative analysis of the spatially homogeneous problem, and study the equilibria of the…

Hair Removal Combining Saliency, Shape and Color

In a computer-aided system for skin cancer diagnosis, hair removal is one of the main challenges to face before applying a process of automatic skin lesion segmentation and classification. In this paper, we propose a straightforward method to detect and remove hair from dermoscopic images.…

On a continuous mixed strategies model for Evolutionary game theory

We consider an integro-differential model for evolutionary gametheory which describes the evolution of a population adopting mixed strategies.Using a reformulation based on the first moments of the solution, we provesome analytical properties of the model and global estimates. The…

Combining network modeling and gene expression microarray analysis to explore the dynamics of Th1 and Th2 cell regulation

Two T helper (Th) cell subsets, namely Th1 and Th2 cells, play an important role in inflammatory diseases. The two subsets are thought to counter-regulate each other, and alterations in their balance result in different diseases. This paradigm has been challenged by recent clinical and experimental…

A Lattice Boltzmann model for anisotropic crystal growth from melt,

Rheology of active emulsions with negative effective viscosity

We numerically study by lattice Boltzmann simulations the rheological properties of an active emulsion made of a suspension of an active polar gel embedded in an isotropic passive background. We find that the hexatic equilibrium configuration of polar droplets is highly sensitive to both active…

The lattice Boltzmann method and multiscale hemodynamics: recent advances and perspectives

Large-scale simulations of blood flow allow for the optimal evaluation of endothelial shear stress for real-life case studies in cardiovascular pathologies. The procedure for anatomic data acquisition, geometry and mesh generation are particularly favorable if used in conjunction with the Lattice…
