A data-motivated density-dependent diffusion model of in vitro glioblastoma growth

Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive brain cancer that is extremely fatal. It is characterized by both proliferation and large amounts of migration, which contributes to the difficulty of treatment. Previous models of this type of cancer growth often include two separate equations to model proliferation or migration. We propose a single equation which uses density-dependent diffusion to capture the behavior of both proliferation and migration. We analyze the model to determine the existence of traveling wave solutions. To prove the viability of the density-dependent diffusion function chosen, we compare our model with well-known in vitro experimental data.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
