Investigation of the role of matrix degradative enzymes on the migration of tumor cells. (English) Zbl 1335.92027

Summary: The paper is devoted to numerical investigation of the influence of the ability of matrix degradative enzymes (MDE) to destroy the extracellular matrix (ECM) on the migration of tumor cells through healthy tissue. The corresponding mathematical model is a system of three differential equations describing the dynamics of tumor cells, ECM and MDE.
