Abstract:mechanical interplays between cancer cells and the extracellular matrix trigger adhesion-mediated signaling pathways that affect not only the cells' mechanical properties such as motility and rigidity but also the cell's viability such as proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, we interrogated whether the anti-cancer drug resistance of breast cancer cells can be discerned by monitoring the proliferation of breast cancer cells seeded on nanoscaffolds. The nanoscaffolds help systematically control the matura… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
