Abstract excerpt
Acidosis in tumors arises from reprogrammed metabolism and compromised vasculature, creating a harsh, acidic microenvironment that drives the evolutionary selection of acid-resistant cell phenotypes. A mathematical model was proposed to integrate phenotypic evolution, microenvironmental acidification, and tumor density dynamics. Three key mechanisms were incorporated in it: frequency-dependent selection favoring...
