Estimating epidemic exponential growth rate and basic reproduction number
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2020 The initial exponential growth rate of an epidemic is an important measure of the severeness of the epidemic, and is also closely related to the basic reproduction number.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a Taenia saginata model with control measures
Results in Control and Optimization, 2023 Bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis are neglected diseases caused by the beef tapeworm Taenia saginata. These diseases affect both human and animal health, rural livestock producers’ livelihoods, and the economies of the nations.

Infectious Disease ModellingIn this study, by applying population mobility data in July, August and September of 2019–2023 in Japan to a multigroup epidemic model, we calculate the type and target reproduction numbers of each prefecture in Japan. Regarding these values as a kind of

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

On the basic reproduction number in a random environment
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2012 The concept of basic reproduction number R0 in population dynamics is studied in the case of random environments. For simplicity the dependence between successive environments is supposed to follow a Markov chain. R0 is the spectral radius of a next-generation operator.

Estimation of the basic reproduction number (R0) for the novel coronavirus disease in Sri Lanka
Virology Journal, 2020 Background The basic reproduction number (R0) is the number of cases directly caused by an infected individual throughout his infectious period. R0 is used to determine the ability of a disease to spread within a given population. The reproduction number

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Non-Parametric Model-Based Estimation of the Effective Reproduction Number for SARS-CoV-2
Algorithms, 2023 Describing viral outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, often involves employing compartmental models composed of ordinary differential equation (ODE) systems.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
