Summary

Recent years have witnessed unprecedented progress in computational biology and biosciences. Our society is eager to see basic research quickly translated into longer and better quality of life through deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and better medical treatment. Accordingly, many topics from computational biology and bioscience have been given high priority in the research. This special issue (SI) highlights mathematical and computational approaches, to examine central problems of the computational biological sciences. The essential target of this special issue is to focus on computational biology - work that uses mathematical approaches to gain biological understanding or explain biological phenomena. Research papers should either provide biological insight as a result of mathematical analysis or identify and open up challenging new types of mathematical problems that derive from biological knowledge. New mathematical ideas, techniques, and results in a biological context are welcome in this proposed special issue. Research areas of mathematical biology covered include, but are not restricted to, cell biology, physiology, development, neurobiology, genetics and population genetics, population biology, ecology, behavioural biology, evolution, epidemiology, immunology, molecular biology, bio fluids, DNA and protein structure and function.


This special issue is mainly focused to address a wide range of the theory and applications of fractional-order derivatives and fractional-order integrals in different directions of mathematical biology. We invite authors to contribute original research articles for the special issue "Mathematical Aspects of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics-II" in the following potential topics that include, but are not limited to:


• Biomodelling

• Genomics

• Neuroscience

• Evolutionary biology

• Cancer computational biology

• Neuropsychiatry

• Image analysis

• Statistical network modelling

• Dynamic pathway modelling

• Protein structure

• Synthetic Biology and Molecular Programming

• Modelling on infectious disease models

• Fractional calculus and its applications on computational biology

• Biophysics, systems biology and computational biology

    Aggravation of Cancer, Heart Diseases and Diabetes Subsequent to COVID-19 Lockdown via Mathematical Modeling

    Fatma Nese Efil, Sania Qureshi, Nezihal Gokbulut, Kamyar Hosseini, Evren Hincal, Amanullah Soomro
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.140, No.1, pp. 485-512, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.047907

    Abstract The global population has been and will continue to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. The primary objective of this research is to demonstrate the future impact of COVID-19 on those who suffer from other fatal conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Here, using ordinary differential equations (ODEs), two mathematical models are developed to explain the association between COVID-19 and cancer and between COVID-19 and diabetes and heart disease. After that, we highlight the stability assessments that can be applied to these models. Sensitivity analysis is used to examine how changes in certain factors impact different aspects… More >

    A Hybrid SIR-Fuzzy Model for Epidemic Dynamics: A Numerical Study

    Muhammad Shoaib Arif, Kamaleldin Abodayeh, Yasir Nawaz
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3417-3434, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.046944
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Mathematical Aspects of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics-II)
    Abstract This study focuses on the urgent requirement for improved accuracy in disease modeling by introducing a new computational framework called the Hybrid SIR-Fuzzy Model. By integrating the traditional Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) model with fuzzy logic, our method effectively addresses the complex nature of epidemic dynamics by accurately accounting for uncertainties and imprecisions in both data and model parameters. The main aim of this research is to provide a model for disease transmission using fuzzy theory, which can successfully address uncertainty in mathematical modeling. Our main emphasis is on the imprecise transmission rate parameter, utilizing a three-part description of its membership level.… More >

    A Stochastic Model to Assess the Epidemiological Impact of Vaccine Booster Doses on COVID-19 and Viral Hepatitis B Co-Dynamics with Real Data

    Andrew Omame, Mujahid Abbas, Dumitru Baleanu
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.3, pp. 2973-3012, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029681
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Mathematical Aspects of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics-II)
    Abstract A patient co-infected with COVID-19 and viral hepatitis B can be at more risk of severe complications than the one infected with a single infection. This study develops a comprehensive stochastic model to assess the epidemiological impact of vaccine booster doses on the co-dynamics of viral hepatitis B and COVID-19. The model is fitted to real COVID-19 data from Pakistan. The proposed model incorporates logistic growth and saturated incidence functions. Rigorous analyses using the tools of stochastic calculus, are performed to study appropriate conditions for the existence of unique global solutions, stationary distribution in the sense of ergodicity and disease… More >
