Ensemble Averages, Soliton Dynamics and Influence of Haptotaxis in a Model of Tumor-Induced Angiogenesis
In this work, we present a numerical study of the influence of matrix degrading enzyme (MDE) dynamics and haptotaxis on the development of vessel networks in tumor-induced angiogenesis. Avascular tumors produce growth factors that induce nearby blood vessels to emit sprouts formed by endothelial cel...
