基于Potts模型的恶性肿瘤生长的二维随机模拟

使用热力学方法建立了一个癌变细胞在正常细胞组织中生长的计算机仿真模型．初始细胞模型采用二维离散化结构，设置一序列的调控因子，以模拟不同条件下的不同类型的癌细胞的生长过程，并考察了调控因子对癌细胞生长的影响．最后，通过加入细胞增殖机制，扩展了该模型．

A 2-D stochastic simulation of malignant tumor growth using the Potts model

A computer model to simulate a malignant cell growing in normal tissues is developed in this paper. A 2-D discrete structure is adopted in the initial cellular model. A series of adjustment factors are used to help to simulate the growth of different types of malignant cells under different conditions, and the influence of adjustment factors upon malignant invasion is also investigated in this paper. In the final part of the model, we extend the simulation by using proliferation.
