Distribution of a fluorescent biomarker in a tumor tissue without cellular uptake

Goals: Use the biomechanical model to investigate distribution of fluorescent biomarkers within a tumor tissue in a case when cells cannot take up the biomarker. Mathematical Model: A classical fluid-structure interaction technique called the Regularized Stokeslet mathod was used to model the interstitial fluid flow and transport of biomarker particles through the interstitial space between the cells. Computational tools: The model is coded using the Matlab system, and all images and movies are made also using the Matlab system. Author: Kasia Rejniak: labpages.moffitt.org/rejniakk
