Mathematical Modeling Of Potassium Modulated Viral Infection, Zaira Elizabeth Mather
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In recent years, there is a growing interest in the investigation of using potassium to treat virus infections. In the region of infection, there is a biological observation of extracel- lular potassium level being typically very low whereas the intracellular potassium levels are much higher. There are numerous biological studies showing that elevated potassium levels in the extracellular membrane tends to block virus infections. A recent effort in this direction is a collaborative research conducted by mathematicians and biologists from the University of Texas at El Paso, New Mexico State University, and the University of New Mexico, where we develop …

Attraction-Repulsion Forces Between Biological Cells: A Theoretical Explanation Of Empirical Formulas, Olga Kosheleva, Martine Ceberio, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Biological calls attract and repulse each other: if they get too close to each other, they repulse, and if they get too far away from each other, they attract. There are empirical formulas that describe the dependence of the corresponding forces on the distance between the cells. In this paper, we provide a theoretical explanation for these empirical formulas.
