Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The mathematical modelling of complex biological and physiological systems is a powerful tool for gaining a fundamental understanding of the processes of life. However, the construction of a comprehensive model requires both profound knowledge of the system and large amounts of experimental data. Here, the methods and approaches of nonlinear dynamics are of immense utility, allowing both the reduction of systems of equations and the investigation of possible modes of their functioning.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight papers that demonstrate the usefulness of nonlinear dynamics methods to the investigation of physiological systems’ structure, the determination of key modules and control stages in biological systems, and the application of the acquired knowledge to the problems of biomedicine.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Stability and bifurcation analysis of biological systems;
  • Nonlinear biological systems: oscillations, auto waves and self-organizing systems;
  • Reduction, decomposition and structure determination of biological systems;
  • Human population dynamics and epidemiology;
  • Asymptotic analysis of dynamical biological processes.

Viral infection spreads in cell culture or tissue as a reaction–diffusion wave. It is characterized by three main parameters: virus replication number, Rv, which determines whether infection progresses, wave speed, c, which correlates with the virus virulence, and viral load, J(v), which determines the infection transmission rate. In this work, we study how the inflammation triggered by viral infection influences its progression. We obtain analytical expressions for Rv,c, and J(v) and show how they depend on the intensity of inflammation characterized by one or two parameters. Analytical and numerical results show that inflammation decreases the viral replication number, virus virulence, and infectivity, though there are different cases depending on the parameters of the model.

Understanding of the glucose risk factors-mediated mechanism in human breast cancer remains challenging. In this perception, for the first time, we proposed a complex nonlinear dynamical model that may provide a basic insight into the mechanism of breast cancer for the patient with existing glucose risk factors. The impact of glucose risk factors on the cancer cells’ population is evaluated using the formulated analytical model. The dynamical features of the cancer cells are described by a system of ordinary differential equations. Furthermore, the Routh–Hurwitz stability criterion is used to analyze the dynamical equilibrium of the cells’ population. The occurrence of zero bifurcation as well as two and three of the Jacobian matrix are obtained based on the sums of principal minors of order one. The glucose risk factors are exploited as the bifurcation parameters (acted as necessary and sufficient conditions) to detect the Hopf bifurcation. The presence of excess glucose in the body is found to affect negatively the breast cancer cells’ dynamics, stimulating chaos in the normal and tumor cells and thus drastically deteriorating the efficiency of the human immune system. The theoretical results are validated using the numerical simulations. It is concluded that the present findings may be beneficial for the future breast cancer therapeutic drug delivery and cure.
