A Novel Computer-Assisted Approach to evaluate Multicellular Tumor Spheroid Invasion Assay
Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTSs) embedded in a matrix are re-emerging as a powerful alternative to monolayer-based cultures. The primary information gained from a three-dimensional model is the invasiveness of treatment-exposed MCTSs through the acquisition of light microscopy images. The amount and complexity of the acquired data and the bias arisen by their manual analysis are disadvanta...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional (3D) Tumor Spheroid Invasion Assay
Invasion of surrounding normal tissues is generally considered to be a key hallmark of malignant (as opposed to benign) tumors. For some cancers in particular (e.g., brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck - SCCHN) it is a cause of severe morbidity and can be life-threatening even in the absence of distant metastases. In addition, cancers wh...
متن کاملAgent-Based Simulations of In Vitro Multicellular Tumor Spheroid Growth
Multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) are an in vitro model system of avascular tumors. They are used to study how local microenvironments affect cellular growth, viability, and therapeutic response. We are developing in silico, agent-based analogues to provide new options for gaining exploitable insight into both the in vitro and in vivo systems. MTS exhibit characteristic phenotypic attributes:...
متن کاملA Novel Computer-Aided Method to Evaluate Scoliosis Curvature using Polynomial Math Function
Background: Scoliosis is a health problem that causes a side-to-side curvature in the spine. The curvature may have an “S” or “C” shape. To evaluate scoliosis, the Cobb angle has been commonly used. However, digital image processing allows the Cobb angle to be obtained easily and quickly, several researchers have determined that Cobb angle contains high variations (errors) in the measurements. ...
متن کاملCell Invasion in the Spheroid Sprouting Assay: A Spatial Organisation Analysis Adaptable to Cell Behaviour
The endothelial cell spheroid assay provides a suitable in vitro model to study (lymph) angiogenesis and test pro- and anti-(lymph) angiogenic factors or drugs. Usually, the extent of cell invasion, observed through optical microscopy, is measured. The present study proposes the spatial distribution of migrated cells as a new descriptor of the (lymph) angiogenic response. The utility of this no...
