      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, ...

      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 ...
