Abstract
Interactions of cells via extracellular vesicles (EVs) manipulate various actions, including cancer initiation and progression, inflammation, anti-tumor signaling and cell migration, proliferation and apoptosis in the tumor microenvironment. EVs as the external stimulus can activate or inhibit some receptor pathways in a way that amplify or attenuate a kind of particle release at target cells. This can also be carried out in a biological feedback-loop where the transmitter is affected by the induced release initiated by the target cell due to the EVs received from the donor cell, to create a bilateral process. In this paper, at first we derive the frequency response of internalization function in the framework of a unilateral communication link. This solution is adapted to a closed-loop system to find the frequency response of a bilateral system. The overall releases of the cells, given by the combination of the natural release and the induced release, are reported at the end of this paper and the results are compared in terms of distance between the cells and reaction rates of EVs at the cell membranes.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience reports on original, innovative and interdisciplinary work on all aspects of molecular systems, cellular systems, and tissues (including molecular electronics). Topics covered in the journal focus on a broad spectrum of aspects, both on foundations and on applications. Specifically, methods and techniques, experimental aspects, design and implementation, instrumentation and laboratory equipment, clinical aspects, hardware and software data acquisition and analysis and computer based modelling are covered (based on traditional or high performance computing - parallel computers or computer networks).
