Microenvironmental niche divergence shapes BRCA1-dysregulated ovarian cancer morphological plasticity
Cancer cells can actively engage in overcoming microenvironmental constraints such as tissue stiffness through adapting their shapes; however it is unclear how microenvironmental cells shape cancer nuclear morphology in human tumors in situ. Here the authors merge machine learning, digital pathology...

| Summary: | Cancer cells can actively engage in overcoming microenvironmental constraints such as tissue stiffness through adapting their shapes; however it is unclear how microenvironmental cells shape cancer nuclear morphology in human tumors in situ. Here the authors merge machine learning, digital pathology and spatial statistics to study this issue; furthermore the authors identify decreased immune infiltration in the surrounding of diversified cancer cells in a subset of ovarian tumors. |
