Modeling of Cell Communication in
Tissues
Manmeet Kaur
Abstract
This talk will provide a brief introduction to cell
communication – why cells need to communicate, and how. Different basic `styles' of cell signaling
will then be presented. One example, of
a one-dimension model for an array of autocrine cells interacting via diffusive
signaling, is investigated in detail, and it is shown how, under relevant
assumptions, the model can be reduced to a system of ordinary differential
equations.
