Unsuccessful mitosis in multicellular tumour spheroids
Multicellular spheroids are very attractive models in oncology because they mimic the 3D organization of the tumour cells with their microenvironment. We show here using 3 different cell types (mammary TSA/pc, embryonic kidney Hek293 and cervical cancer HeLa), that when the cells are growing as spheroids the frequency of binucleated cells is augmented as occurs in some human tumours.We therefor...
متن کاملPulsation-limited oxygen diffusion in the tumour microenvironment
Hypoxia is central to tumour evolution, growth, invasion and metastasis. Mathematical models of hypoxia based on reaction-diffusion equations provide seemingly incomplete descriptions as they fail to predict the measured oxygen concentrations in the tumour microenvironment. In an attempt to explain the discrepancies, we consider both the inhomogeneous distribution of oxygen-consuming cells in s...
متن کاملA method for estimating the oxygen consumption rate in multicellular tumour spheroids
Hypoxia occurs when oxygen levels within a tissue drop below normal physiological levels. In tumours, hypoxia is associated with poor prognosis, increased likelihood of metastasis and resistance to therapy. Imaging techniques, for example, positron emission tomography, are increasingly used in the monitoring of tumour hypoxia and have the potential to help in the planning of radiotherapy. For t...
متن کاملDouble-PFG Diffusion-Diffraction in Ellipsoidal Pores
Repeated application of diffusion gradient pulse pairs [1] in a pulsed field gradient (PFG) experiment provides important insights into pore microstructure. For example, the dimensions and eccentricity of yeast cells were measured from the fourth order term of the double-PFG signal attenuation when the mixing time between the two encoding blocks is long [2]. In this abstract, we propose an alte...
متن کاملOptical properties of multicellular tumour spheroids.
Multicellular tumour spheroids grown in vitro have been widely used in cancer research as an experimental preparation with many of the characteristics of tumours. They provide a model system for understanding the optical behaviour of tumour tissue, which is of interest in novel diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Optical measurements on fresh spheroids in the wavelength range of 600-1000 nm ...
