Abstract
We shortly survey our recent contributions for a basic theoretical mathematical understanding of cell dynamics in acute leukemia, before and after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Inspired by Dingli-Michor’s approach, our theoretical models are given in terms of two-and three dimensional ordinary differential systems whose parameters take into account essential biological properties, processes and interactions, and are involved in the characterization of normal or abnormal hematopoietic status, in the description of asymptotically stable steady-states and their basins of attraction and of therapeutic pre-and post-transplant strategies.
