Abstract
This paper aims to mathematically model the dynamics of Parkinson's disease with therapeutic strategies. The constructed model consists of five state variables: healthy neurons, infected neurons, extracellularα-syn, active microglia, and resting microglia. The qualitative analysis of the model produced an unstable free equilibrium point and a stable endemic equilibrium point. Moreover, these results are validated by numerical experiments with different initial values. Two therapeutic interventions, reduction of extracellularα-syn and reduction of inflammation induced by activated microglia in the central nervous system, are investigated. It is observed that the latter has no apparent effect in delaying the deterioration of neurons. However, treatment to reduce extracellularα-syn preserves neurons and delays the onset of Parkinson's disease, whether alone or in combination with another treatment.
期刊介绍:
Physical Biology publishes articles in the broad interdisciplinary field bridging biology with the physical sciences and engineering. This journal focuses on research in which quantitative approaches – experimental, theoretical and modeling – lead to new insights into biological systems at all scales of space and time, and all levels of organizational complexity.
Physical Biology accepts contributions from a wide range of biological sub-fields, including topics such as:
molecular biophysics, including single molecule studies, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions
subcellular structures, organelle dynamics, membranes, protein assemblies, chromosome structure
intracellular processes, e.g. cytoskeleton dynamics, cellular transport, cell division
systems biology, e.g. signaling, gene regulation and metabolic networks
cells and their microenvironment, e.g. cell mechanics and motility, chemotaxis, extracellular matrix, biofilms
cell-material interactions, e.g. biointerfaces, electrical stimulation and sensing, endocytosis
cell-cell interactions, cell aggregates, organoids, tissues and organs
developmental dynamics, including pattern formation and morphogenesis
physical and evolutionary aspects of disease, e.g. cancer progression, amyloid formation
neuronal systems, including information processing by networks, memory and learning
population dynamics, ecology, and evolution
collective action and emergence of collective phenomena.
