They observed that these metastases were often made of cells from at least two different colors of tumor cell populations. (sciencedaily.com)
In this mouse model, mutations in Kras and p53 genes resulted in the formation of individual tumor cell populations that were labeled with different colors. (sciencedaily.com)
Their recent study, which appears as the cover article in the May issue of Cancer Research, shows that mathematical models can be used to predict how different tumor cell populations interact with each other and respond to a changing environment. (sciencedaily.com)
