Is a dynamic model that has been developed to address a given pathology transposable to other diseases?
We build one model to address one specific question in one disease. Addressing another pathology requires building another model, based on other data. However, if the diseases have many similarities, the building of a new model will be simplified, and will mostly depend on the generation of additional experimental data. For example, a model of the response of prostate cancer cells to sexual steroids will be easy to adapt to another hormone-sensitive cancer.
