João Pedrode MagalhãesBridging the gap between theory and clinic: the importance of measuring pairwise interactions
The Mathematical Oncology Blog
Nathan Farrokhian: “In our recent preprint, we [showed] that frequency dependent interactions ameliorate the fitness cost of gefitinib resistance in an in vitro EGFR+ lung cancer population, which leads to a potential safe harbor for small resistant sub-populations. As expected, introduction of gefitinib reverses these interactions such that the resistant population promotes more rapid extinction of the non-resistant cells. Most importantly, at clinically relevant doses, this interaction outweighs the effect of the drug itself.”
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: Describing medical images using mathematics can help us analyse and understand them. In our new paper, we show how immunohistochemistry images (left) can be described using Persistence Landscapes (right), a new Topological Data Analysis tool. In combination with mathematical modelling, we use this to explore the relationship between immune cell localisation and hypoxia in head and neck tumour samples.
