From the editor:

Today we feature articles on patient-specific predictive models, adaptive algorithms, ecology & games in cancer, cancer hallmarks, and more.

I also added a link to a minisymposium organized by Guillermo Lorenzo et al on building predictive models of growth/response.

Enjoy,

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. This week’s artwork:

Based on the paper: “Simulations of tumor growth and response to immunotherapy by coupling a spatial agent-based model with a whole-patient quantitative systems pharmacology model” in PLOS Computational Biology

Artist: Alvaro Ruiz-Martinez, Chang Gong & Aleksander S. Popel

Caption: “We present a hybrid computational modeling platform, spQSP, to extend quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) models of immuno-oncology by combining them with spatial agent-based models (ABM). We analyze the region at the edge of the tumor called the Invasive Front (IF) and apply the model to immunotherapy of triple-negative breast cancer. Here we show 3D profiles of CD8+ T cell densities. Central tumor in yellow, IF in red, and normal tissue in green. ”
