Reaction-diffusion equations serve as fundamental tools in describing pattern formation in biology. In these models, nonuniform steady states often represent stationary spatial patterns. Notably, these steady states are not unique, and unveiling them mathematically presents challenges.

A model of epidemic dynamics is developed that incorporates continuous variables for infection age and vaccination age. The model analyzes pre-symptomatic and symptomatic periods of an infected individual in terms of infection age. This property is shown to be of major importance in the severity of the epidemic, when the infectious period of an infected individual precedes the symptomatic period.

A nonlinear partial differential equation containing a nonlocal advection term and a diffusion term is analyzed to study wound closure outcomes in wound healing experiments. There is an extensive literature of similar models for wound healing experiments. In this paper we study the character of wound closure in these experiments in terms of the sensing radius of cells and the force of cell-cell adhesion.
