*update: found a better way to mimic cell interior* Simulates the way cancer cells move around compared to normal cells.

    Yeah, just to add on, the only reason cancer kills is because it spreads to other parts of the body, causing organ cells to multiply, redcucing the functionality, which unbalances the human body system causing death. I guess a simple way of saying it lol

    sentinal-5: agreed. the tumor might be like a zoo with many different types of cells. but there also must be some kind of race; if a cell can use up more resources, it can go through more mitotic cycles than the others. and the body's capability of feeding many cells in a given area is probably limited. but maybe it becomes significant only in bigger tumors. that might be the cause why they ulcerate.
