New Algorithm SPRINTER Enhances Understanding of Cancer Cell Proliferation

A groundbreaking study published in Nature Genetics introduces SPRINTER, a novel algorithm that analyzes tumor cell proliferation at a single-cell level. Developed by researchers from the TRACERx and PEACE consortia, SPRINTER enhances our understanding of cancer evolution, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This innovative approach leverages single-cell genomics to map the growth rates of genetically distinct tumor clones, paving the way for personalized cancer treatments and improved therapeutic strategies.
