Researchers led by Dr. Jona Kayser at MPZPM report that physical processes in dense cell populations play a decisive role in determining the optimal timing of treatment cycles. The finding addresses treatment resistance, described as one of the key challenges in cancer and antibiotic therapy, and suggests treatment scheduling could be improved by accounting for how densely packed cells interact physically rather than relying on biological factors alone.
Why now: The research offers a new physical explanation for treatment resistance, a major unsolved problem in cancer and antibiotic therapy.
