Dynamics of fibril collagen remodeling by tumor cells using individual cell-based mathematical modeling

Show abstract
Many solid tumors are characterized by dense extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of various ECM fibril proteins that provide structural support and biological context for the residing cells. The growing tumor cell colonies are capable of remodeling the ECM structure in tumor immediate vicinity to form specific microenvironmental niches. The changes in fibril patterns of the collagen (one of the ECM proteins) surrounding the tumor can be visualized experimentally using both histology and fluorescent imaging. In particular, three diverse tumor associated collagen signatures (TACS) were identified and related to tumor behavior, such as benign growth or invasion. Here we will use an off-lattice hybrid agent-based model (MultiCell-LF) to identify the rules of cell-ECM interactions that guide the development of various patterns of alignment of the ECM fibrils.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
