متن کاملPopulation ecology issues in tumor growth.
Mathematical models developed from population ecology are applied to tumor-host interactions and demonstrate the importance of increased efficiency in substrate absorption as a mechanism enabling tumor cells to (a) proliferate despite inefficient energy production and (b) compete successfully for resources with the numerically superior host cells. As with many biological invasions observed in n...
