A mathematical model is proposed to explain the observed internalization of microspheres and 3 H-thymidine labelled cells in steady-state multicellular spheroids. The model uses the conventional ideas of nutrient diffusion and consumption by the cells. In addition, a very simple model of the progres

Immunotoxins have the potential to be powerful tools for selective cell killing, but their lack of clinical success against solid tumors indicates a need to better understand factors which limit immunotoxin transport in three-dimensional systems. In this work, a previously developed model which rela
The exact mechanism by which photodynamic therapy (PDT) causes tumor destruction has not been elucidated. Early reports indicated that PDT causes direct cellular effects probably mediated by unstable oxygen species, resulting in cellular oxidation and death. More recently, PDT effects on tumor blood
