How Do Computational Models Help in Understanding Tumor Heterogeneity?
One of the major challenges in cancer research is tumor heterogeneity, where different cells within the same tumor can exhibit varying behaviors and responses to treatment. Computational models can help researchers understand this complexity by simulating different cellular states and interactions within the tumor microenvironment. This can lead to the identification of subpopulations of cells that may be responsible for drug resistance or metastasis.
