Computer Simulation of Cancer Growth

Roland Piquepaille writes "For a long time now, researchers and scientists have used computer simulations in the physical sciences: physics, chemistry, and engineering. But what about biology? An international team of U.S. and Scottish mathematicians and biologists has built a math model to predict tumor behavior. The researchers say their approach is similar to the one used by weather forecasters. So far, this approach is entirely theoretical. But the scientists see their effort as the beginning of a new era in cancer research — 'a sea change in how biology is being done,' as the lead researcher described it. Read more for additional references and illustrations about this use of computer simulation to predict a cancer evolution."

"We've modeled cancer !!!"

So what. So did the greeks. It was called "the crab".

Tell us when theyve modelled a cure that acutually tells a drug designer something instead of someboyd ported the game of life to the dimentsion.

geez.
