Animated computer simulation of in vitro cancer growth

On the next video sequences you can see the result of three state of the art models of cancer growth.

  • Spheric growth and the formation of necrotic core



  • Mitosis of cancer cells




  • Fractal growth of two neighboring cancer cell colonies



The author of computer simulations: Denis Horvath

Nice simulations but...no description of what is going on in them?

Very beautiful
Are this simulations your work ? Did you publish this ?

Thanks!

The results of this research are published in this paper:


B. Brutovsky, D. Horvath and V. Lisy
Inverse geometric approach for the simulation of close-to-circular growth. The case of multicellular tumor spheroids

However, the published model differs from those on Youtube.
