Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...
Cellular Injury IV: Necrosis01:16

Cellular Injury IV: Necrosis

Necrosis is a form of irreversible cell death caused by severe injury such as ischemia, toxins, or trauma. Unlike programmed cell death, it is an uncontrolled, pathological process that typically provokes inflammation in surrounding tissues.Pathophysiologic ChangesNecrosis begins when cells sustain critical damage, leading to swelling of organelles, particularly mitochondria, and rapid ATP depletion. As energy levels decline, membrane ion pumps fail, leading to calcium influx and eventually,...

Secondary Spinal Cord Injury llI: Pathophysiology

Early Ischemia and Ionic ImbalanceWithin minutes of spinal cord injury, a secondary cascade begins, progressing over hours to weeks. Vascular damage reduces blood flow, causing ischemia and mitochondrial dysfunction. ATP depletion leads to ion pump failure, membrane depolarization, sodium influx, potassium efflux, and water accumulation, resulting in cellular swelling. Increased intracellular calcium further disrupts mitochondria and accelerates cellular injury.Excitotoxicity and Neuronal...
Phases of Wound Repair01:28

Phases of Wound Repair

Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...
Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue01:15

Neurogenesis and Regeneration of Nervous Tissue

In the CNS, neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons from stem cells, is limited to the hippocampus in adults. In other regions of the brain and spinal cord, neurogenesis is almost non-existent due to inhibitory influences from neuroglia, especially oligodendrocytes, and the absence of growth-stimulating cues. The myelin produced by oligodendrocytes in the CNS inhibits neuronal regeneration. Furthermore, astrocytes proliferate rapidly after neuronal damage, forming scar tissue that physically...
Cytotoxic Edema: Pathophysiology01:21

Cytotoxic Edema: Pathophysiology

Cytotoxic edema is a form of cerebral edema characterized by intracellular swelling of neurons, astrocytes, and other glial cells. It develops when the mechanisms responsible for maintaining ionic gradients across the cell membrane become impaired. Under normal physiological conditions, the sodium–potassium ATPase actively transports sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, preserving osmotic balance and enabling electrical signaling. This pump requires a continuous supply...

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Biology
  • Tumor Dynamics
  • Reaction-Diffusion Systems

Background:

  • Avascular solid tumors lack blood vessels, relying on diffusion for nutrient/waste transport.
  • Tumor growth models often simplify cell proliferation dynamics.
  • Necrotic core formation is a critical feature in larger solid tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and analyze a mathematical model for avascular solid tumor dynamics.
  • To investigate the impact of incorporating a time delay in cell proliferation on tumor growth and necrotic core formation.
  • To study the mathematical properties, including steady states, of the proposed model.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of a model based on reaction-diffusion dynamics and mass conservation.
  • Mathematical analysis of an ordinary functional-differential equation representing tumor growth.
  • Investigation of the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the model's steady states.
  • Numerical simulations to explore model behavior and necrotic core formation.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully captures avascular solid tumor dynamics, reducing to a functional-differential equation.
  • The introduced time delay in cell proliferation was shown to influence the formation and characteristics of the necrotic core.
  • Mathematical analysis confirmed the existence, uniqueness, and stability properties of the steady states under certain conditions.
  • Numerical simulations provided insights into the complex interplay between proliferation delay and necrotic core development.

Conclusions:

  • Time-delayed cell proliferation significantly impacts necrotic core formation in avascular solid tumors.
  • The developed mathematical model offers a framework for studying delayed dynamics in tumor growth.
  • Further research can explore more complex biological factors and delays within this modeling approach.
