Abstract excerpt
Intra-tumor heterogeneity in proliferation rates fundamentally influences cancer progression and treatment resistance. To investigate how continuous phenotypic variation shapes eco-evolutionary dynamics, we develop a phenotype-structured partial differential equation framework that explicitly models proliferation heterogeneity as a dynamic trait. Our model integrates three key biological principles: (1)...
