MICRO-ENVIRONMENTAL MECHANICAL STRESS CONTROLS TUMOR SPHEROID SIZE AND MORPHOLOGY BY SUPPRESSING PROLIFERATION AND INDUCING APOPTOSIS IN CANCER CELLS.

Micro-environmental mechanical stress controls tumor spheroid size and morphology by suppressing proliferation and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells.

Compressive mechanical stress produced during growth in a confining matrix limits the size of tumor spheroids, but little is known about the Games dynamics of stress accumulation, how the stress affects cancer cell phenotype, or the molecular pathways involved.We co-embedded single cancer cells with fluorescent micro-beads in agarose gels and, usin

VEHICULAR TRAFFIC SIMULATIONS: USE OF A GAMES ENGINE FOR VIDEO RENDERING AND VERIFICATION OF AN ARCHITECTURE MODEL BASED ON QUEUING SYSTEMS

In a previous work [Pasini L and Sabatini S 2016 TASK Quart.20 (1) 9], we Dog Treats described a technique that allows a specific system of urban traffic to be associated to a description file system, called Model.dat.This file contains a list of data objects that are defined in the library [Pasini L and Feliziani S 2013 TASK Quart.17 (3) 155] and
