An agent-based model for elasto-plastic mechanical interactions between cells, basement membrane and extracellular matrix by Gianluca D'Antonio, Paul Macklin, Luigi Preziosi

“…The basement membrane (BM) and extracellular matrix (ECM) play critical roles in developmental and cancer biology, and are of great interest in biomathematics. We introduce a model of mechanical cell-BM-ECM interactions that extends current (visco)elastic models (e.g. [8,16]), and connects to recent agent-based cell models (e.g. [2,3,20,26]). …”

Radiotherapy for Melanoma: More than DNA Damage by Susanne J. Rogers, Emsad Puric, Brigitte Eberle, Niloy R. Datta, Stephan B. Bodis

“…Given the immune priming effect of radiotherapy, there is a strong but complex biological rationale and an increasing body of evidence for synergy in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors, which are now first-line therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic melanoma. There is great potential to increase local control and abscopal effects by combining radiotherapy with both immunotherapy and hyperthermia, and a combination of all three modalities is suggested as the next important trial in this refractory disease.…”
