The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), which occurs in individuals younger than 50, has been rising globally. The authors of a new study stress the need to accelerate further investigation on the topic to understand the puzzling rise of this cancer type among younger adults.

📢 New paper out !! This work investigates data assimilation of time-resolved microscopy data to adapt the prediction of the spatiotemporal response of breast cancer cells to chemotherapy with doxorubicin as new data becomes available during the experiments. This approach can help us understand the complex dynamics underlying tumor growth and response to treatment, such as the development of chemoresistance, which is a central cause of treatment failure in breast cancer patients. By adapting our model parameterization with incoming data, we can anticipate the onset of chemoresistance, which could be leveraged to personalize treatment regimens to improve therapeutic outcomes.
