We have developed a novel and versatile three-dimensional cellular automaton model of brain tumor growth. We show that macroscopic tumor behavior can be realistically modeled using microscopic parameters. Using only four parameters, this model simulates Gompertzian growth for a tumor growing over ne

A cellular automaton model describing immune system surveillance against cancer is furnished. In formulating the model, we have taken into account the microscopic mechanisms of cancerous growth, such as the proliferation of cancer cells, the cytotoxic behaviors of the immune system, the mechanical p
In this work, a three-state cellular automaton proposed to describe part of a biological immune system is revisited. We obtain the dynamic critical exponent z of the model by means of a recent technique that mixes different initial conditions. Moreover, by using two distinct approaches, we have also
