A hybrid computational model of cancer spheroid growth with ribose-induced collagen stiffening

Abstract excerpt

Metastasis, the leading cause of death in cancer patients, arises when cancer cells disseminate from a primary solid tumour to distant organs. Growth and invasion of the solid tumour often involve collective cell migration, which is profoundly influenced by cell-cell interactions and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM’s biochemical composition and mechanical properties, such as stiffness, regulate cancer...
