From the editor:

Today we feature articles on spatial genetics, whole body immune visualization, evolutionary bioreactors, and multicellular communication.

This will be the last #MathOnco newsletter of the year. Merry Christmas, happy new year, see you in 2023!

Thanks,

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: “Investigating Two Modes of Cancer-Associated Antigen Heterogeneity in an Agent-Based Model of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy” in cells

Artists: Tina Giorgadze & Kerri-Ann Norton

Caption: "The tumor microenvironment is a complex system involving cross-talk between tumor cells, immune cells and stromal cells in the microenvironment. One of the most studied cross-talks is between tumor cells and endothelial cells that make up the tumor vasculature. Tumor cells that are too distant from the surrounding vasculature become hypoxic, due to low oxygen, and release vascular endothelial growth factor, which in turn signals mature vasculature to sprout and promote angiogenesis towards to the hypoxic region of the tumor. Here we show an in silico model of a developing tumor, indicating the hypoxic tumor cells in purple and the developing vasculature as a red “skeleton”. This hypoxic tumor region would be less susceptible to treatment due to its distance from the mature vessels and being in a hypoxic microenvironment."
