Optimal control of TGF-β to prevent formation of pulmonary fibrosis.

In this paper, three optimal control problems are proposed to prevent forming lung fibrosis while control is transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the myofibroblast diffusion process. Two diffusion equations for fibroblast and myofibroblast are mathematically formulated as the system's dynami...
