Journal ArticleDOI

The issues with tissues: the wide range of cell fate separation enables the evolution of multicellularity and cancer.

TL;DR: How the wide separation of cell phenotypes may contribute to cancer evolution is discussed, and how some tissues and organisms maintain high cell proliferation and plasticity without developing tumours at a corresponding rate demonstrates a potential proliferation paradox that requires further explanation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phase II evaluation of oral tamoxifen and intermittent intravenous vinblastine in hormone-refractory adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

TL;DR: The dosage and schedule of vinblastine and tamoxifen used in this study is inactive in the treatment of metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer.
Book ChapterDOI

Explaining Aberrations of Cell Structure and Cell Signaling in Cancer Using Complex Adaptive Systems

TL;DR: Several signal transduction pathways and cellular structures will be examined using a bottom-up approach to gain a better understanding of how structure and function are interrelated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer dormancy and criticality from a game theory perspective

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the dynamics of host-cancer cell populations in the presence of payoffs gradients and perturbations due to cell migration, and determine to what extent the time-dependence of the populations can be quantitively understood in spite of the underlying complexity of the individual agents and model the phenomena of dormancy.
