Clonal interactions in cancer: Integrating quantitative models with experimental and clinical data

ND Lee, K Kaveh, I Bozic - Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2023 - Elsevier
Tumors consist of different genotypically distinct subpopulations—or subclones—of cells.
These subclones can influence neighboring clones in a process called “clonal interaction.” …

Unraveling the Drivers of Tumorigenesis in the Context of Evolution: Theoretical Models and Bioinformatics Tools

X Zhu, W Zhao, Z Zhou, X Gu - Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2023 - Springer
Cancer originates from somatic cells that have accumulated mutations. These mutations
alter the phenotype of the cells, allowing them to escape homeostatic regulation that …
