Abstract:The competition between a cancer and the immune system are modelled at cell scale in the framework of thermostatted kinetic theory. Cell activation and learning are reproduced by the increase of cell activity during interactions. The fluctuations of system activity are controlled by a thermostat which reproduces the regulation of the learning process and memory loss through cell death. An algorithm, including spatial description and inspired from the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, is used to simu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
