Personalized Prediction of Proliferation Rates and Metabolic Liabilities in Cancer Biopsies (2016)
Christian Diener, Osbaldo Resendis-Antonio
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28082911
Jul 13, 2018 - This study uses transcriptomic data to predict growth rates in single tumors, then uses metabolic modeling constrained based on the predicted growth rates to predict metabolic liabilities in individual patient cancers.
