We present the first mathematical model of flow-mediated primary hemostasis in an extravascular injury, which can track the process from initial deposition to occlusion. The model consists of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) that describe platelet aggregation (adhesion and cohesion), soluble-agonist-dependent platelet activation, and the flow of blood through the injury. The formation of platelet aggregates increases resistance to flow through the injury, which is modeled using the Stokes-Brinkman equations. Data from analogous experimental (microfluidic flow) and partial differential equation models informed parameter values used in the ODE model description of platelet adhesion, cohesion, and activation. This model predicts injury occlusion under a range of flow and platelet activation conditions. Simulations testing the effects of shear and activation rates resulted in delayed occlusion and aggregate heterogeneity. These results validate our hypothesis that flow-mediated dilution of activating chemical ADP hinders aggregate development. This novel modeling framework can be extended to include more mechanisms of platelet activation as well as the addition of the biochemical reactions of coagulation, resulting in a computationally efficient high throughput screening tool.

In the last decades, the interest to understand the connection between brain and body has grown notably. For example, in psychoneuroimmunology many studies associate stress, arising from many different sources and situations, to changes in the immune
system from the medical or immunological point of view as well as from the biochemical one. In this paper we identify important behaviours of this interplay between the immune system and stress from medical studies and seek to represent them qualitatively in a paradigmatic, yet simple, mathematical model. To that end we develop a differential equation model with two equations for infection level and immune system, which integrates the effects of stress as an additional parameter. We are able to reproduce a stable healthy state for little stress, an oscillatory state between healthy and infected states for high stress, and a burn-out or stable sick state for extremely high stress. The mechanism between the different dynamics is controlled by two saddle-node in cycle (SNIC) bifurcations. Furthermore, our model is able to capture an induced infection upon dropping from moderate to low stress, and it predicts increasing infection periods upon increasing before eventually reaching a burn-out state.
The formation of new bone involves both the deposition of bone matrix, and the formation of a network of cells embedded within the bone matrix, called osteocytes. Osteocytes derive from bone-synthesising cells (osteoblasts) that become buried in bone
matrix during bone deposition. The generation of osteocytes is a complex process that remains incompletely understood. Whilst osteoblast burial determines the density of osteocytes, the expanding network of osteocytes regulates in turn osteoblast activity and osteoblast burial. In this paper, a spatiotemporal continuous model is proposed to investigate the osteoblast-to-osteocyte transition. The aims of the model are (i) to link dynamic properties of osteocyte generation with properties of the osteocyte network imprinted in bone, and (ii) to investigate Marottis hypothesis that osteocytes prompt the burial of osteoblasts when they become covered with sufficient bone matrix. Osteocyte density is assumed in the model to be generated at the moving bone surface by a combination of osteoblast density, matrix secretory rate, rate of entrapment, and curvature of the bone substrate, but is found to be determined solely by the ratio of the instantaneous burial rate and matrix secretory rate. Osteocyte density does not explicitly depend on osteoblast density nor curvature. Osteocyte apoptosis is also included to distinguish between the density of osteocyte lacuna and the density of live osteocytes. Experimental measurements of osteocyte lacuna densities are used to estimate the rate of burial of osteoblasts in bone matrix. These results suggest that: (i) burial rate decreases during osteonal infilling, and (ii) the control of osteoblast burial by osteocytes is likely to emanate as a collective signal from a large group of osteocytes, rather than from the osteocytes closest to the bone deposition front.
We present a novel mathematical model of heterogeneous cell proliferation where the total population consists of a subpopulation of slow-proliferating cells and a subpopulation of fast-proliferating cells. The model incorporates two cellular processe
s, asymmetric cell division and induced switching between proliferative states, which are important determinants for the heterogeneity of a cell population. As motivation for our model we provide experimental data that illustrate the induced-switching process. Our model consists of a system of two coupled delay differential equations with distributed time delays and the cell densities as functions of time. The distributed delays are bounded and allow for the choice of delay kernel. We analyse the model and prove the non-negativity and boundedness of solutions, the existence and uniqueness of solutions, and the local stability characteristics of the equilibrium points. We find that the parameters for induced switching are bifurcation parameters and therefore determine the long-term behaviour of the model. Numerical simulations illustrate and support the theoretical findings, and demonstrate the primary importance of transient dynamics for understanding the evolution of many experimental cell populations.
We propose a strange-attractor model of tumor growth and metastasis. It is a 4-dimensional spatio-temporal cancer model with strong nonlinear couplings. Even the same type of tumor is different in every patient both in size and appearance, as well as
in temporal behavior. This is clearly a characteristic of dynamical systems sensitive to initial conditions. The new chaotic model of tumor growth and decay is biologically motivated. It has been developed as a live Mathematica demonstration, see Wolfram Demonstrator site: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/ChaoticAttractorInTumorGrowth/ Key words: Reaction-diffusion tumor growth model, chaotic attractor, sensitive dependence on initial tumor characteristics
In this paper I have given a mathematical model of Cell reprogramming from a different contexts. Here I considered there is a delay in differential regulator rate equations due to intermediate regulators regulations. At first I gave some basic mathem
atical models by Ferell Jr.[2] of reprogramming and after that I gave mathematical model of cell reprogramming by Mithun Mitra[4]. In the last section I contributed a mathematical model of cell reprogramming from intermediate steps regulations and tried to find the critical point of pluripotent cell.
