A tissue cell neighborhood shows four groups of cells, featuring different cell types, including immune cells and tumor cells. Lines connect the cells and cell groups, showing how cells interact, both with their closest neighbors and with cell groups that are farther away.

Algorithm Shines Light on Cancer Cell Neighborhoods

The ways that cells interact with neighboring cells and their environments can either regulate or promote how tumors grow and spread. See how a new tool is helping us better understand these important “neighborhood” interactions.
