Abstract:

Filamentous fungi are important in an enormous variety of ways to our life, with examples ranging from bioremediation, through the food and drinks industry to human health. These organisms can form huge networks stretching metres and even kilometres. However, their mode of growth is by the extension of individual hyphal tips only a few microns in diameter. Tip growth is mediated by the incorporation of new wall building materials at the soft apex. Just how this process is controlled (in fungi and in cell elongation in other organisms) has been the subject of intense study over many years and h

Abstract:

Fungi generally exist as unicellular organisms (yeasts) or in a vegetative state in which a mycelium, i.e. an interconnected network of tubes (hyphae) is formed. The mycelium can operate over a very large range of scales (each hypha is only a few microns in diameter, yet mycelia can be kilometres across). Fungi are of fundamental importance to many natural processes: certain species have major roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling in the soil; some form vital links with plant roots allowing nutrient transfer. Other species are essential to industrial processes: citric acid production for

Abstract:

A number of mathematical models of cancer growth and treatment are presented. The most significant model presented is of the interactions between a growing tumor and the immune system. The equations and parameters of the model are based on experimental and clinical results from published studies. The model includes the primary cell populations involved in effector-T-cell-mediated tumor killing: regulatory T cells, helper T cells, and dendritic cells. A key feature is the inclusion of multiple mechanisms of immunosuppression through the main cytokines and growth factors mediating the interactio

Abstract:

Cell proliferation assays are routinely used to study collective cell behaviour, and can be interpreted with mathematical models. In this thesis, we apply a computational Bayesian technique to calibrate stochastic discrete mathematical models of cell migration and cell proliferation in the context of a cell proliferation assay. Initially, we use a lattice-based model to explore the optimal duration of a cell proliferation assay. Next, we estimate the parameters in a lattice-free model using three independent experimental data sets. Our model is able to both describe and predict the evolution o

The phenomenon of organizational growth has traditionally been assumed to be indeterminate largely due to chance or accidents found in organizational worlds. This research takes up the causal processes underlying the growth (and decline) of virtually all world-class manufacturers in the international automobile industry from 1946 to 1989. Two models are developed as alternative explanations for the long-term trends observed in growth rates and their differences across firms. The models are estimated with a nonlinear method and tested through various empirical implications. The model that seems

Experiments that probe epithelial tissue dynamics, cell competition, and tumour growth are fundamental to understand processes in developmental biology, cancer progression and treatment. However, interpreting complex biological experiments is challenging. To address this challenge, we develop and use a range of mathematical models. First, we focus on epithelial tissue dynamics. Second, we use real-time cell cycle imaging to reveal the structure of growing tumour spheroids.

Simulation results show that both liquidation and bankruptcy triggers are negatively related to the long run price levels, while the speed of mean reversion interacts with the long run price level to affect the firm’s exit decisions in two opposite directions depending on the l

Abstract:

This project investigated the calcium distributions of the skin, and the growth patterns of skin substitutes grown in the laboratory, using mathematical models. The research found that the calcium distribution in the upper layer of the skin is controlled by three different mechanisms, not one as previously thought. The research also suggests that tight junctions, which are adhesions between neighbouring skin cells, cannot be solely responsible for the differences in the growth patterns of skin substitutes and normal skin.
