Abstract excerpt
The interplay between tumor cells and macrophages plays a central regulatory role in cancer progression. In this study, we developed a mathematical model that incorporates tumor cells, M1-type macrophages, M2-type macrophages and an M3-type macrophage population characterized by dual phenotypic features. First, we analyzed the fundamental mathematical properties of the model and derived the conditions under which...
