📈New Dataset: NR2F1 underlies persistence of residual disease in BRAF-mutant melanoma
Targeted therapies for melanoma, like BRAF and MEK inhibitors, can shrink tumors but often fail to completely eliminate all cancer cells. A small group [...]
🚀New Tool: SMoReGloS
Agent-based models (ABMs) are powerful tools for exploring how individual interactions lead to complex, emergent behaviors in biology, ecology, and society. Yet, assessing the [...]
🚀New Tool: EVOFLUx
Cancer evolves over time, but capturing these dynamics has long been a challenge. EVOFLUx is a new method that uses natural DNA methylation “barcodes” [...]
🧰 CCKP Toolkit Tool Feature: Tellurium
Tellurium is a Python environment for modeling and simulating biological systems. It provides a comprehensive toolkit for systems and synthetic biology, enabling researchers to [...]
Save the Date: 2026 All Consortia Meeting, October 20 – 22, 2026
We are excited to announce the 2026 MC2 Center All Consortia Meeting! In October 2026 we will bring together the CCBIR, CSBC, MetNet, PS-ON and [...]
📈New Dataset: Pancreatic cancer xenograft tumor RNA sequencing and pathologic differentiation of matched human tumors
From Brown et al. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38471099/), this dataset investigates the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic cancer. EMT is believed to correlate with metastatic [...]
🚀 Tool Spotlight: InterpolAI
InterpolAI is a deep learning-based tool that allows for advanced image analysis on biomedical images to help with 3D tissue mapping. Specifically, this tool [...]
