Stochastic Model of Tumor-induced Angiogenesis: Ensemble Averages and Deterministic Equations
A recent conceptual model of tumor-driven angiogenesis including branching, elongation, and anastomosis of blood vessels captures some of the intrinsic multiscale structures of this complex system, yet allowing to extract a deterministic integro-partial differential description of the vessel tip density [Phys. Rev. E 90, 062716 (2014)]. Here we solve the stochastic model, show that ensemble averages over many realizations correspond to the deterministic equations, and fit the anastomosis rate coefficient so that the total number of vessel tips evolves similarly in the deterministic and ensemble averaged stochastic descriptions.

Integrodifference master equation describing actively growing blood vessels in angiogenesis
We study a system of particles in a two-dimensional geometry that move according to a reinforced random walk with transition probabilities dependent on the solutions of reaction-diffusion equations for the underlying fie…
3D CA model of tumor-induced angiogenesis
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 equat…

Tumor angiogenesis concerns the development of new blood vessels supplying the necessary nutrients for the further development of existing tumor cells. The entire process is complex, involving the production and consumpt…
Development of a Computationally Optimized Model of Cancer-induced Angiogenesis through Specialized Cellular Mechanics
Angiogenesis, the development of new vasculature, is a critical process in the growth of new tumors. Driven by a goal to understand this aspect of cancer proliferation, I develop a discrete computationally optimized math…
