Abstract:
In previous papers, we have introduced a new dynamical model of Ising spins, namely the two-component (TC) model. Using the Boltzmann factor, in this paper we introduce parameter T to the model. This is the standard method for introducing temperature. However, since we have not defined the energy for the TC model, but only the disagreement function, we will not call this parameter temperature. We will investigate the system in its degenerated phase, which consists of four qualitatively different steady states at T = 0. We will show that for T>0, three of these steady states become metastable, and that above T = T* they become unstable. In the range 0

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
