Re:Could they elaborate a bit? (Score 1)

This is way overhyped. There are all kinds of bioinformatics models for cancer growth and metastisis. There are hundreds of systems biology labs out there who have long viewed cancer as a network that can be compared to other networks (electronic mapping diagrams, the Internet, airline routes, etc.) This particular paper is no "breakthrough". It's part of a mounting pile of evidence that cancer growth can be analyzed in this way. What's important is what basic research scientists find out about cancer by using this model, not the creation of the model itself.
