Macroscopic Modeling of Vascular Systems
Angiogenesis, the growth of vascular structures, is an extremely complex biological process which has long puzzled scientists. Better physiological understanding of this phenomenon could result in many useful medical applications, from virtual surgery simulators for medical interventions, to cancer therapy, where e.g. influence of certain factors on the system could be simulated. Although there...
متن کاملSummary of dose-response modeling for developmental toxicity studies.
Developmental toxicity studies are an important area in the field of toxicology. Endpoints measured on fetuses include weight and indicators of death and malformation. Binary indicator measures are typically summed over the litter and a discrete distribution is assumed to model the number of adversely affected fetuses. Additionally, there is noticeable variation in the litter responses within d...
متن کاملPitfalls in the Modeling of Developmental Systems
Computational models of development aim to describe the mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of new skills or the emergence of new capabilities. The strength of a model is judged by both its ability to explain the phenomena in question as well as its ability to generate new hypotheses, generalize to new situations, and provide a unifying conceptual framework. Although often constructed usin...
متن کاملA Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling Framework for Developmental Toxicity Studies
We develop a Bayesian nonparametric mixture modeling framework for replicated count responses in dose-response settings. We explore this methodology for modeling and risk assessment in developmental toxicity studies, where the primary objective is to determine the relationship between the level of exposure to a toxic chemical and the probability of a physiological or biochemical response, or de...
متن کاملMale-mediated developmental toxicity
In recent years, the public has become more aware that exposure of males to certain agents can adversely affect their offspring and cause infertility and cancer. The hazards associated with exposure to ionising radiation have been recognised for nearly a century, but interest was aroused when a cluster of leukaemia cases was identified in young children living in Seascale, close to the nuclear ...
