Transition Yet Energy Consuming for Tumor Growth Regulated by the Colored Microenvironment by Leiyan Chen, Yan Wang, Qingqing Li, Haohua Wang

“…Here, focusing on the regulatory role of noises from its strength and correlation time on phenotypic diversity of tumors, we show that (1) when the noise strength (NS) is fixed, extending the autocorrelation time (AT) of multiplicative noise can regulate bidirectionally the tumor phenotype, i.e., it can promote the diffusion also contribute to killing cancer cells simultaneously; (2) AT of additive noise can reduce the occurrence probability of cancer cells, but the NS can increase this probability; (3) the effect of the cross-correlated strength (CS) on cell phenotype is twofold, i.e., increasing CS may urge the mean first passage time (MFPT) of switching to the tumor state to have the minimum and maximum values but the cross-correlation time (CT) always makes the MFPT to have a minimum value. …”
