Mathematical model explains why metastasis can occur even when cancer is caught early Mathematical model explains why metastasis can occur even when cancer is caught early Researchers are uncovering the unique nature of individual cancer "communities" and how they evolve, and applying math models to understand their growth.
Putting data to work to solve pressing health issues Interaction was key during a poster session with more than 50 presentations.

By river, ocean, or wind, rocks round the same way A mathematical formula predicts the way that river rocks, ocean pebbles and dune sands acquire a rounded shape, Penn researchers found.
