Traveling waves and spreading speed on a lattice model with age structure

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2012
In this article, we study a lattice differential model for a single species with distributed age-structure in an infinite patchy environment. Using method of approaches by Diekmann and Thieme, we develop a comparison principle and construct a suitable

Estimation of spreading speeds and travelling waves for the lattice pioneer-climax competition system

open access: yesJournal of Biological Dynamics
This paper concerns the invasion dynamics of the lattice pioneer-climax competition model with parameter regions in which the system is non-monotone. We estimate the spreading speeds and establish appropriate conditions under which the spreading speeds ...

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Generalized spreading speeds for lattice differential equations with time and space dependence

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2019
This article concerns the spatial spreading speeds for lattice differential equations with general time and space dependence. Firstly, we give the concept of spreading speed intervals.

Spreading dynamics on networks: the role of burstiness, topology and non-stationarity

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
Spreading on networks is influenced by a number of factors, including different parts of the inter-event time distribution (IETD), the topology of the network and non-stationarity. In order to understand the role of these factors we study the SI model on

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

Asymptotic spreading of predator-prey populations in a shifting environment

open access: yesMathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering
Inspired by a recent study associating shifting temperature conditions with changes in the efficiency with which predators convert prey to offspring, we propose a predator prey model of reaction-diffusion type to analyze the consequence of such effects ...

Asymptotic Behavior for Radially Symmetric Solutions of a Logistic Equation with a Free Boundary

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2017
In this paper we investigate a logistic equation with a new free boundary condition appearing in ecology, we aim to describe the spreading of a new or invasive species by studying the asymptotic behavior of the radially symmetric solutions of the problem.

A discrete time model for epidemic spread: traveling waves and spreading speeds

open access: yesCommunications Faculty Of Science University of Ankara Series A1Mathematics and Statistics, 2017
In this paper, we aim to study spread of an epidemic in a spatiallystratifed population with non-overlapping generations. We consider mean field equation of an endemic chain-binomial process and allow individuals to disperse in the spatial habitat. To be able to model the spatial movement, we used an averaging kernel.
