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 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, using conf

Background: Cosmetic rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly used surgeries among young people, especially female students.Some psychological personality traits are the mainstay of this kind of cosmetic surgery.Therefore, the present study was conducted to compare the psychological profile of female students using cosmetic rhinoplasty and that in t
