A new Collection on #cancer is out @PLOSBiology! We delve into how #omics technologies are helping researchers understand the #tumor #microenvironment (TME)
Edited by Yibin Kang, who wrote a great Editorial to frame the Collection, this group of Essays and Perspectives covers topics as diverse as:
- mutual plasticity of #cancer & immune cells in the #TME & why its relevance in therapy
- metabolic crosstalk between cancer and T cells, and how to leverage it to reprogram anti-tumor immune responses
- the potential of defining the 3D tumor neural niche using spatial omics & #AI technologies to identify new targeted therapy opportunities
- evolutionary selection operating across levels in cancer, highlighting how this understanding can be used to improve prevention and treatment
- mathematical models as tools for exploring the complex interplay between #cancer cells and their environment, and the role of AI in leading the way towards the next wave of tumor models
- how #MultiOmics data be leveraged to help cancer patients
- how single-cell technologies can help understand cancer metastatic niches and inform novel therapies
- a call for better preclinical models and improved understanding of stromal cell function in the TME
Senior cancer editor @PLOSBiology, Richard Hodge, discusses his vision for cancer biology at the journal in an accompanying Biologue post.
