Cortisone and Tumour Growth

Tumour-induced neoneurogenesis and perineural tumour growth: a mathematical approach

It is well-known that tumours induce the formation of a lymphatic and a blood vasculature around themselves. A similar but far less studied process occurs in relation to the nervous system and is referred to as neoneurogenesis. The relationship between tumour progression and the nervous system is still poorly understood and is likely to involve a multitude of factors. It is therefore relevant t...

Cortisone and ACTH.

[Cortisone and heparin].

Though the abundant data published in the literature concerning the influence of cortisone on the thrombo-plastic powers of the blood is varied and sometimes even contradictory, we have concentrated our attention on the eventual influence of cortisone on heparin, the main factor of the circulating anti-coagulating substances. This decision was taken in consideration of the supposed existence of...

Biophysical models of tumour growth

Tumour growth is a multifactorial process, which has stimulated in recent decades the development of numerous models trying to figure out the mechanisms controlling solid tumours morphogenesis. While the earliest models were focusing on cell proliferation kinetics, modulated by the availability of supplied nutrients, new modelling approaches emphasize the crucial role of several biophysical pro...
