    Andrea Armani & Jerry Lee: “Global events in the past year has made prescient a long-standing debate on the definition and suitability of impact and novelty as criteria for publication in selective journals. Reflecting on this issue, Prof Andrea Armani and Prof Jerry Lee argue that rigour and reproducibility is, in fact, more crucial.”

The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage (thisweekmathonco.substack.com), which allows us to post cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group.

Caption: Cells undergoing metastasis can acquire both drug resistance and migratory properties. This is a multi-scale process, illustrated here for ER+ breast cancer. On the cell scale, cells transition between different phenotypes in the phenotypic landscape due to noise and the administration of drugs (Left). This defines the cell’s adaptive level of drug resistance and its position along the epithelial-mesenchymal transition axis (EMT). On the population scale, this subsequently manifests in multiple parallel paths to long-term resistance in a given cancer cell population (pre-existing reversibly resistant cells, stochastic switching and dynamic equilibrium, and drug-induced plasticity; Right). To learn more, check out our recent paper here.
