Description
Cell-tissue interactions, including both chemical and mechanical interactions, are essential and crucially important for various biological processes, such as functioning organs, regenerating tissues and regulating cellular behaviours. In the past years, mathematical modelling has shown its great potential to further understand the biology and then predict the behaviours of cells and tissue, which is particularly beneficial to study diseases such as wound healing, cancer cell metastasis and tumour growth. Considering the difference of scales between the cell and tissue, typically multiscale and multiphysics modelling is required to describe the biological phenomenon.
In this mini-symposium, we aim to bring researchers working in the field of modelling cell-tissue interactions, with applications in cell migration, tissue morphogenesis and diffusion of cytokines etc. The contributed talks will cover various modelling frameworks, ranging from lattice-based to off-lattice, and from agent-based to continuum models.
