      Angiotensin inhibition enhances drug delivery and potentiates chemotherapy by decompressing tumour blood vessels 

      Chauhan, V. P.; Martin, J. D.; Liu, H.; Lacorre, D. A.; Jain, S. R.; Kozin, S. V.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Mousa, A. S.; Han, X.; Adstamongkonkul, P.; Popovic, Z.; Huang, P.; Bawendi, M. G.; Boucher, Y.; Jain, R. K. (2013)
      Cancer and stromal cells actively exert physical forces (solid stress) to compress tumour blood vessels, thus reducing vascular perfusion. Tumour interstitial matrix also contributes to solid stress, with hyaluronan ...

      The role of mechanical forces in tumor growth and therapy 

      Jain, R. K.; Martin, J. D.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2014)
      Tumors generate physical forces during growth and progression. These physical forces are able to compress blood and lymphatic vessels, reducing perfusion rates and creating hypoxia. When exerted directly on cancer cells, ...

      The Solid Mechanics of Cancer and Strategies for Improved Therapy 

      Stylianopoulos, T. (2017)
      Tumor progression and response to treatment is determined in large part by the generation of mechanical stresses that stem from both the solid and the fluid phase of the tumor. Furthermore, elevated solid stress levels can ...

      Tissue harmonic ultrasonic imaging 

      Averkiou, Michalakis A. (2001)
      Harmonic imaging was originally developed for microbubble contrast agents in the early 90s under the assumption that tissue is linear and all harmonic echoes are generated by the bubbles. In fact, tissue, like bubbles, is ...

      A Validated Multiscale In-Silico Model for Mechano-sensitive Tumour Angiogenesis and Growth 

      Vavourakis, V.; Wijeratne, P. A.; Shipley, R.; Loizidou, M.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Hawkes, D. J. (2017)
      Vascularisation is a key feature of cancer growth, invasion and metastasis. To better understand the governing biophysical processes and their relative importance, it is instructive to develop physiologically representative ...
