An ecological model of invasion and metastasis Serrano, José J. Urdiales-Ruiz, José Luis Medina-Torres, Miguel Ángel Montañez, Raúl Cáncer Metástasis It has been argued that malignat tumours represent complex dynamic and self-organizing ecosystems. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that collective cell migration occurs during invasion and metastasis. Here, we propose a mathematical model showing how cooperative behaviour could arise in heterogeneous tumour populations and why the emergence of such swarm-like patterns would confer advantageous properties to the spatio-temporal expansion of tumours. consequently, targeting such collectivity should be of interest for basic knowledge and clinical tratment of cancer, including rare tumours. 2017-08-29T10:42:37Z 2017-08-29T10:42:37Z 2017-08-29T10:42:37Z 2017-08-29 conference output http://hdl.handle.net/10630/14403 0000-0001-7275-6462 eng 15 International Conference of Molecular Systems Biology Raitenhaslach (Alemania) Julio de 2017 open access
