Emergent behaviors from a cellular automaton model for invasive tumor growth in heterogeneous microenvironments.
Understanding tumor invasion and metastasis is of crucial importance for both fundamental cancer research and clinical practice. In vitro experiments have established that the invasive growth of malignant tumors is characterized by the dendritic invasive branches composed of chains of tumor cells em...
