Constructal approach to cell membranes transport: Amending the ‘Norton-Simon’ hypothesis for cancer treatment
To investigate biosystems, we propose a new thermodynamic concept that analyses ion, mass and energy flows across the cell membrane. This paradigm-shifting approach has a wide applicability to medically relevant topics including advancing cancer treatment. To support this claim, we revisit 'Norton-Simon' and evolving it from an already important anti-cancer hypothesis to a thermodynamic theorem...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure marginal bone loss from the implant-abutment microgap to the bone crest between multiple freestanding implants functionally loaded for up to 7.5 years in the posterior jaws. Materials and Methods: Patients consecutively treated for the replacement of missing posterior teeth were included in the study. Using the implant-abutment interface, which ...
متن کاملApplication of Control Theory in Modelling Cancer Chemotherapy
Phase specific models for cancer chemotherapy are described as optimal control problems. We review earlier results on scheduling optimal therapies when the controls represent the effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents, or, equivalently, when the simplifying assumption is made that drugs act instantaneously. In this paper we discuss how to incorporate more realistic medical aspects which hithe...
متن کاملInitial Modelling of the Alternative Phenotypes Hypothesis
The alternative phenotype hypothesis contends that multiple phenotypes exist in a single genotype and are expressed by environmental or genetic cues. It further states that these multiple phenotypes will be maintained and improved in a population where the environment is unstable, in spite of the increased cost of this plasticity. In this work we propose a simple computational model to investig...
متن کاملTargeting the Mechanisms of Resistance to Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy with the Cancer Stem Cell Hypothesis
Despite advances in treatment, cancer remains the 2nd most common cause of death in the United States. Poor cure rates may result from the ability of cancer to recur and spread after initial therapies have seemingly eliminated detectable signs of disease. A growing body of evidence supports a role for cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumor regrowth and spread after initial treatment. Thus, targeting...
