Comet supercomputer reveals the mechanical process of cancer growth
Comet supercomputer reveals the mechanical process of cancer growth According to the World Health Organization, one in six worldwide deaths have been attributed to cancer; however, these fatalities were not due to initial malignant tumors-;the deaths were caused by the spread of cancer cells to surrounding tissues and subsequent tumor growth. These tissues, which consist largely of collagen, have been the focus of a recent collaborative study by a team from Stanford University and Purdue University. To accomplish their work, the researchers used the Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Super...
