immunoABM

What is this?

This is an agent-based model for the interaction between solid tumors and the immune system. The model includes tumor cell agents, immune cell agents (lymphocytes), stroma and necrosis. The domain is a two-dimensional rectangular grid. The model is written in MATLAB and was developed by JN Kather (http://orcid.org/0000-0002-3730-5348). The basic structure is similar to Jan Polesczuk's blog post here: https://computecancer.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/cancer-stem-cell-driven-tumor-growth-model-in-less-than-70-lines-of-code/

What does it look like?

Tumor cells are red, immune cells are blue. For more detail, please refer to our paper. A movie is available in "Movie.mp4".
