Traveling Wave Solutions of a Mathematical Model for Tumor Encapsulation
The formation of a capsule of dense, fibrous extracellular matrix around a solid tumor is a key prognostic indicator in a wide range of cancers. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying capsule formation remain unclear. One hypothesized mechanism is the "expansive growth hypothesis," which suggests that a capsule may form by …
