A prime example is the finely structured endoplasmic reticulum, which plays an important role in the metabolisms of human cells. To handle mathematical models that account for this fine structure, periodic homogenization methods are derived and applied. Previous results on homogenization of partial differential equations on finely structured manifolds are extended: Using the periodic unfolding method, diffusion terms on manifolds with different scalings with powers of the homogenization parameter, in particular in case of fast diffusion, are homogenized and are applied in three different biological systems: a linear model of carcinogenesis of cells, a nonlinear extension of the linear carcinogenesis model and a model considering T-cell signaling. Simulations and interpretations of the homogeneous T-cell signaling model give an insight into the related biological mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabella Graf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3832533974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832533977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Isabella Graf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450128511231,"sku":"9783832533977","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f83dac7-7748-4788-b011-5803af118077.jpg?v=1777266334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multiscale-modeling-and-homogenization-of-isabella-graf-9783832533977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
