摘要
An analysis of a parabolic partial differential equation modelling capillary network formation is presented. The model includes terms representing cell random motility, chemotaxis, and haptotaxis due to the presence of chemical stimuli: tumour angiogenic factors and fibronectin. The analysis provides an underlying insight into mechanisms of cell migration which are crucial for tumour angiogenesis. Specific 1 and 2D examples are discussed in detail.
