Assessing Honey Bee Colony Health Using Temperature Time Series
Karina Arias-Calluari, Theotime Colin, Tanya Latty +2
Honey bees face an increasing number of stressors that disrupt the natural behaviour of colonies and, in extreme cases, can lead to their collapse. Quantifying the status and resil…
A spatially resolved and lipid-structured model for macrophage populations in early human atherosclerotic lesions
Keith L. Chambers, Mary R. Myerscough, Michael G. Watson +1
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the artery wall. The early stages of atherosclerosis are driven by interactions between lipids and monocyte-derived-macrophages…
A mathematical model for smooth muscle cell phenotype switching in atherosclerotic plaque
Joseph P. Ndenda, Michael G. Watson, Ashish Misra +1
Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play a fundamental role in the development of atherosclerotic plaques. They ingest lipids in a similar way to monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) in the…
Blood lipoproteins shape the phenotype and lipid content of early atherosclerotic lesion macrophages: a dual-structured mathematical model
Keith L Chambers, Mary R Myerscough, Michael G Watson +1
Macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions exhibit a spectrum of behaviours or phenotypes. The phenotypic distribution of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs), its correlation with MDM…
HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis
Ishraq U. Ahmed, Mary R. Myerscough
Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoprot…
A new lipid-structured model to investigate the opposing effects of LDL and HDL on atherosclerotic plaque macrophages
Keith L Chambers, Mary R Myerscough, Helen M Byrne
Atherosclerotic plaques form in artery walls due to a chronic inflammatory response driven by lipid accumulation. A key component of the inflammatory response is the interaction be…
Modelling daily weight variation in honey bee hives
Karina Arias-Calluari, Theotime Colin, Tanya Latty +2
A quantitative understanding of the dynamics of bee colonies is important to support global efforts to improve bee health and enhance pollination services. Traditional approaches f…
Macrophage anti-inflammatory behaviour in a multiphase model of atherosclerotic plaque development
Ishraq U. Ahmed, Helen M. Byrne, Mary R. Myerscough
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the formation of plaques, which are deposits of lipids and cholesterol-laden macrophages that form in the artery wall. T…
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…
Identifying differences in the rules of interaction between individuals in moving animal groups
Timothy. M. Schaerf, James E. Herbert-Read, Mary R. Myerscough +2
Collective movement can be achieved when individuals respond to the local movements and positions of their neighbours. Some individuals may disproportionately influence group movem…
Intelligent Decisions from the Hive Mind: Foragers and Nectar Receivers of Apis mellifera Collaborate to Optimise Active Forager Numbers
James R. Edwards, Mary R. Myerscough
We present a differential equation-based mathematical model of nectar foraging by the honey bee Apis mellifera. The model focuses on two behavioural classes; nectar foragers and ne…
