3D CA model of tumor-induced angiogenesis [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Tumor-induced angiogenesis is the formation of new sprouts from preexisting nearby parent blood vessels. Computationally, tumor-induced angiogenesis can be modeled using cellular automata (CA), partial differential equations, etc. In this present study, a realistic physiological approach has been made to model the process of angiogenesis by using 3D CA

Mechanical Properties of Growing Melanocytic Nevi and the Progression to Melanoma [PDF]

, 2014
Melanocytic nevi are benign proliferations that sometimes turn into malignant melanoma in a way that is still unclear from the biochemical and genetic point of view. Diagnostic and prognostic tools are then mostly based on dermoscopic examination and morphological analysis of histological tissues.

Circulating levels of matrix proteases and their inhibitors in pregnant women with and without a history of recurrent pregnancy loss [PDF]

, 2010
Background: We have recently shown that serum relaxin-2 levels are attenuated in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). We sought to determine whether a history of RPL is also associated with changes in serum matrix metalloproteases ...

Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

Absolute matrix order ideals in absolute matrix order unit spaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this paper, we define and study absolute matrix order ideals in absolute matrix order unit spaces. As an application of absolute matrix order unit property, we construct some kinds of absolute matrix order ideals in absolute matrix order unit spaces.
