Ecological Dynamics in Cancer-Immune Interaction

Explore the intricate dynamics of cancer-immune interactions in this 56-minute lecture from the Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC). Delve into topics such as evolution, development, and complex adaptive systems as they relate to cancer and the immune system. Gain insights into immunotherapy, the adaptive immune system, and the concept of self vs. non-self recognition. Examine genome instability, mutations, and replication processes in cancer cells. Investigate the evolution of AIDS and the diversity threshold in immune responses. Engage with a model that illustrates these concepts and participate in question sessions to deepen your understanding of ecological dynamics in cancer-immune interactions.
