A Lipid-Structured Model of Atherosclerotic Plaque Macrophages with Lipid-Dependent Kinetics
M. G. Watson, K. L. Chambers, M. R. Myerscough
Atherosclerotic plaques are fatty growths in artery walls that cause heart attacks and strokes. Plaque formation is orchestrated by macrophages that are recruited to the artery wal…
A lipid-structured mathematical model of atherosclerosis with macrophage proliferation
Keith L Chambers, Michael G Watson, Mary R Myerscough
We extend the lipid-structured model for atherosclerotic plaque development of Ford et al. (2019) to account for macrophage proliferation. Proliferation is modelled as a non-local…
A Multiphase Model of Growth Factor-Regulated Atherosclerotic Cap Formation
Michael G. Watson, Helen M. Byrne, Charlie Macaskill +1
Atherosclerosis is characterised by the growth of fatty plaques in the inner (intimal) layer of the artery wall. In mature plaques, vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are recruite…
A Two-Phase Model of Early Fibrous Cap Formation in Atherosclerosis
Michael G. Watson, Helen M. Byrne, Charlie Macaskill +1
Atherosclerotic plaque growth is characterised by chronic inflammation that promotes accumulation of cellular debris and extracellular fat in the inner artery wall. This material i…
