Exploring the role of stromal osmoregulation in cancer and disease using executable modelling

Aberrant ion transporter expression disrupts osmoregulation in many cancers. Here, the authors introduce an executable model of osmotic regulation and membrane transport, illuminating the mechanistic basis of multiple cellular cancer phenotypes and suggesting therapeutic avenues.
