BMC生态与进化welcomes submissions of experimental, mathematical and conceptual articles applying the knowledge, methods and concepts of evolution and ecology to help further our understanding of cancer and its management.
The Collection will consider manuscripts using evolutionary biology and ecology principles to:
- 了解疾病的自然史
- 分析和整合多级进化过程和选择压力
- Identify the knowns and unknowns when mapping cellular (epi)genotypes to clinical phenotypes
- Study tumour microenvironments
- 推论（EPI）遗传细胞分支过程，导致不同的癌细胞谱系
- Study transmissible and infectious cancers
- Study molecular and cellular competition, cooperation and conflict
- Study the emergence and spread of therapeutic resistance
- Study the role of stochasticity and molecular-cellular noise in the establishment and evolution of the disease
目的是促进生态进化和肿瘤学观点之间的串扰，以促进我们对癌症的理解。
Meet the Guest Editor
Ignacio González Bravo,CNRS Montpellier
Dr Ignacio González Bravo is a biochemist by training with a PhD in molecular microbiology studying the evolution of bacterial polysialic capsules. Ignacio was introduced to cancer research during his postdoc years at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, working on the emergence and function of viral oncogenes. Ignacio later worked on the interface between cancer epidemiology and viral diversity and evolution, first as the head of the Infections and Cancer Laboratory at the Catalan Institute of Oncology and now as Research Director at the French National Center for Scientific Research in Montpellier. Ignacio uses viral induced-cancers as an experimental model. His main research program advocates for the introduction of evolutionary thinking as a central element in understanding the proximate and ultimate origins of cancer: from molecular mechanisms and functions to adaptation, from the natural history of the infection in the patient to the evolution of cancer susceptibility across species.
