"Spatial interactions modulate tumor growth and immune infiltration"

Our latest preprint:
@S_Marzban in collab w/ @AmelioLab!

We apply methods from artificial life, @BertChakovsky's #Lenia, as a model of tumor-immune:
- spatial growth dynamics
- cell-cell competition &
- cell migration

Application to head & neck squamous cell carcinomas to elucidate the role of collagen on immune infiltration
