NTIUNHDM: Normal-Tumor-Immune-Unhealthy Diet Model
Research Topic: Cancer
Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with dietary factors playing a significant but often underappreciated role in its development and progression.
This research addresses the critical question: How do dietary choices influence immune function and subsequently affect cancer development?
paper demonstrates that poor dietary habits can significantly impair immune surveillance, creating favorable conditions for tumor establishment and growth. This mathematical approach provides insights into how lifestyle factors influence cancer progression.
Methodology
The Normal-Tumor-Immune-Unhealthy Diet Model (NTIUNHDM) employs a system of differential equations to simulate the dynamic interactions between normal cells, tumor cells, and immune cells under the influence of dietary factors.
Through numerical simulations and mathematical analysis, we explore how these complex biological systems respond to changes in immune function potentially caused by poor dietary habits.
Normal Cells
Cells with stable DNA that can be targeted by tumor cells
Tumor Cells
Cells that emerge when the immune system fails to eradicate abnormal cells
Immune Cells
Cells responsible for protecting the body from cancerous cells
