PROGRAM

  • 9:30 H. Hatzikirou (TU Braunschweig & Helmholtz centre for infection research): The role of cell-decision making on tumor development
  • Tumors can be regarded as multicellular complex system of interacting cellular decision-makers. Decisions of interacting cells allow for the emergence of higher order organizational structures, such as tumors. At the same time, the new emergent structures exert selective forces on the cell phenotype decision dynamics. Here I investigate the impact on tumor development of a particular type of cancer cell decision-making the so-called migration/proliferation phenotypic plasticity (or Go-or-Grow) found in brain tumors. This mechanism implies a mutually exclusive switching between migratory and proliferative phenotypes. In this talk, I will discuss the identification of an emerging Allee effect, as a consequence of Go-or-Grow dependency on local tumor cell density, in terms of brain tumor initiation, persistency and potential therapeutic implications.
