Crick researchers have found that certain aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, similar to the body’s nervous system.

This can allow tumour cells to go ‘off grid,’ making them harder to treat.

We then used our published method from @charliegbarker.bsky.social (Barker et al, Genome Research, 2022) to create a reference MASLD network by associating gene co-expression modules with histology scores, identifying key transcription factors regulating them and applying network reconstruction.

🚨 New preprint!🚨 Tackling non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma with in silico models:

🌟 Models tumor pathways (EGFR, AKT, JAK/STAT, WNT)
🌟 personalized drug & radiotherapy combos
🌟 Identifies a signature for patient stratification
