Survival and apoptotic pathways initiated by TNF-alpha: modeling and predictions.

abstract：:The paper reviews the state-of-the-art in computational modeling of thrombus formation and growth and related phenomena including platelet margination, activation, adhesion, and embolization. Presently, there is a high degree of empiricism in the modeling of thrombus formation. Based on the experimentally observed phy...
