Controversy-seeking fuels rumor-telling activity in polarized opinion networks
Hugo P. Maia, Silvio C. Ferreira, Marcelo L. Martins
Rumors have ignited revolutions, undermined the trust in political parties, or threatened the stability of human societies. Such destructive potential has been significantly enhanc…
Adaptive network approach for emergence of societal bubbles
Hugo P. Maia, Silvio C. Ferreira, Marcelo L. Martins
Far beyond its relevance for commercial and political marketings, opinion formation and decision making processes are central for representative democracy, government functioning,…
Multiscale model for the effects of adaptive immunity suppression on the viral therapy of cancer
Leticia R Paiva, Hallan S Silva, Silvio C Ferreira +1
Oncolytic virotherapy - the use of viruses that specifically kill tumor cells - is an innovative and highly promising route for treating cancer. However, its therapeutic outcomes a…
Questing for an optimal, universal viral agent for oncolytic virotherapy
L R Paiva, M L Martins, S C Ferreira
One of the most promising strategies to treat cancer is attacking it with viruses designed to exploit specific altered pathways. Here, the effects of oncolytic virotherapy on tumor…
Cluster-cluster aggregation with particle replication and chemotaxy: a simple model for the growth of animal cells in culture
S. G. Alves, M. L. Martins
Aggregation of animal cells in culture comprises a series of motility, collision and adhesion processes of basic relevance for tissue engineering, bioseparations, oncology research…
Strategies for Optimize Off-Lattice Aggregate Simulations
S. G. Alves, S. C. Ferreira, M. L. Martins
We review some computer algorithms for the simulation of off-lattice clusters grown from a seed, with emphasis on the diffusion-limited aggregation, ballistic aggregation and Eden…
