Lecture 5 - Growth of two colonies of WiDr cell lines which differ in their motility. Evolution of the cell the growth rates (more info). Lecture 5 - Simulation of the same problem by an individual cell based model (by J. Galle). Lecture 5 - Simulation of the growth of a monolayer to confluence. Here duplication stops because of contact inhibition.

Contact me for a longer version (too big to be put on the web). Lecture 8 - Simulation of the formation of a capillary network by human microvascular endothelial cells at an initial density of 200 cells/mm2. Lecture 8 - Simulation of the formation of a capillary network by human microvascular endothelial cells at an initial density of 400 cells/mm2. Lecture 8 - Effect of the interaction with the Matrigel on the process of formation of the capillary network by vasculogenesis.
Lecture 9 - Angiogenesis without haptotaxis. Angiogenic growth factors are produced on the right edge of the domain. Simulation by students of the course on the basis of the model by A. Anderson and M. Chaplain, Bull. Math. Biol., 60(5):857-899 (1998). Lecture 9 - Angiogenesis with haptotaxis. Angiogenic growth factors are produced on the right edge of the domain.
