Abstract: |
Cancer invasion may be viewed as collective phenomenon emerging in populations of
normal and malignant cells. As such it can be studied with agent-based models, e.g. cellular
automata. I will provide examples of such models to analyze breast and glioma invasion as
well as the emergence of phenotypic heterogeneity due to cellular interactions in growing
tumors. Furthermore, I will present models which shed light on cancer progression. |
