Blood vessel tortuosity selects against evolution of aggressive tumor cells in confined tissue environments: A modeling approach.
Cancer is a disease of cellular regulation, often initiated by genetic mutation within cells, and leading to a heterogeneous cell population within tissues. In the competition for nutrients and growth space within the tumors the phenotype of each cell determines its success. Selection in this proces...
