Title
Machine Learning in Cellular Automata Models of Invasive Solid Tumours
Ìý´¡²ú²õ³Ù°ù²¹³¦³Ù
Cell signalling in early tumour development is crucial to the geometry of the invading solid tumour. This complex process is impacted by numerous factors in the cellular micro-environment including the presence of cancerous stem cells, chemotactic agents, and oxygen concentration. All these factors influence the proliferation and invasive potential of a cancerous tumour. We investigate a selection of models that utilise partial differential equations, stochastic processes, and machine learning in hybrid techniques.
