Modeling VEGF and GLUT1 Expression as Coadapted Foraging Strategies in Cancer

2026-04-17

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection acting on cancer cells within their tumor microenvironment should favor cells with fast or efficient nutrient uptake strategies. Here, we develop and analyze a game-theoretic model focusing on the coadaptation between two foraging traits: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). Studies show that VEGF and GLUT1 are often co-expressed and are associated with mor...
