New area of study aims to use tumor evolution to fight cancer
AACR Meeting News
”Tumor evolution is moving from scientific curiosity toward clinical tool. Recent findings link mutational burden in normal tissues with tumorigenesis, while ongoing research is examining how tumor evolution can be directed in useful directions. Against this backdrop, the AACR established a Cancer Evolution Working Group in July 2021 and planned a plenary session dedicated to tumor evolution for the final day of this year’s Annual Meeting.”
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: “Hypothesis combination pipeline was built to identify mechanisms able to recapitulate bone injury data. Each node of the flow chart represents a cellular type, orange arrows represent state transition, purple arrows represent stimulation, and tile arrows represent inhibition. In total 18 hypotheses combination were tested against mouse bone injury data, comprising longitudinal quantification of bone cell populations. Each hypothesis combination was formalized by an ordinary-differential equation system, which goodness of fit was assessed and compared to other combinations. This way, one hypothesis combination pertaining to behaviour of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and macrophages was identified to the one recapitulating experimental data the best. Read the paper here.“
