Microenvironmental Niches and Sanctuaries: A Route to Acquired Resistance
(Kiuwer, 2016)
A tumor vasculature that is functionally abnormal results in irregular gradients of metabolites and drugs within the tumor tissue. Recently, significant efforts have been committed to experimentally examine how cellular ...
Limiting the development of anti-cancer drug resistance in a spatial model of micrometastases
(American Academy of Mathematical Sciences, 2016-12)
While chemoresistance in primary tumors is well-studied, much less is known about the influence of systemic chemotherapy on the development of drug resistance at metastatic sites. In this work, we use a hybrid spatial model ...
Emergence of Anti-Cancer Drug Resistance: Exploring the Importance of the Microenvironmental Niche via a Spatial Model
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Practically, all chemotherapeutic agents lead to drug resistance. Clinically, it is a challenge to determine whether resistance arises prior to, or as a result of, cancer therapy. Further, a number of different intracellular ...
