Abstract:
Three leading scientists Fabrizio Mattei, Kandice Tanner, and Mohit Kumar Jolly working in different continents and in different areas of cancer and immunology came together for an iScience Special Issue focused on the biophysical aspect of the tumor-immune dynamics. In this backstory, the iScience editor discusses with Mattei and Jolly their thoughts about this topic, the current state of the field, the collection of articles in this Special Issue, and the future of the research in this area in the coming years, and personal advice to aspiring young minds.
