Pancreatic cancer is the third deadliest cancer. Treatment often fail due to resistance.
A new study in PNAS led by Mariano Barbacid tackles this with a triple combination therapy that induces robust tumor regression and prevents the onset of tumor resistance in mice.

Why did life explode in complexity 538.8 million years ago?
Inspired by a friend's question, I wrote my first Substack deep-dive on the factors that ignited the Cambrian explosion.

Mathematical oncology aims to model cancer to improve the delivery and efficacy of therapies. Broadly, models fall into two classes: mechanistic and AI-driven. Mechanistic models can be further divided into continuous and discrete/stochastic approaches.

Using mathematical modelling and AI to improve delivery and efficacy of therapies in cancer - Nature Reviews Cancer
Here Harkos et al. review the role of continuous models and discrete models in predicting and understanding therapy delivery and efficacy in solid tumours. They propose ways to integrate mechanistic a...
