Cancer Research and Anti-fragile therapy
Lindy Talk with Jeffrey West: “Our conversation spanned the breadth of evolution & ecology in cancer. How can evolutionary principles can be useful in designing cancer treatment? We specifically discuss antifragility and future work that he is doing to design antifragile cancer therapy."
The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage where we post the cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group.
Caption: Tumor morphology is affected by cancer stem-like cell (CSC) mechanisms, such as migration rate and asymmetric division probability. In our recent paper, we developed a platform spQSP-IO which combines the strength of QSP models and spatially resolved agent-based models (ABM), and created a model of cancer development in the context of anti-cancer immunity and immune checkpoint inhibition therapy. In the figure, red, brown and grey indicate CSC, progenitor and senescent cells, respectively. Asymmetric division probability is low in row 1 and 2, and high in row 3 and 4. Migration rate is low in row 1 and 3, and high in row 2 and 4. Column 1-3 show the temporal change of tumor shape (on day 60, 120 and 180); the last column shows cancer cells with color corresponding to their CSC progeny.
