Sonic-hedgehog pathway inhibition normalizes desmoplastic tumor microenvironment to improve chemo- and nanotherapy
Mpekris, F.; Papageorgis, P.; Polydorou, C.; Voutouri, C.; Kalli, M.; Pirentis, A. P.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2017)Targeting the rich extracellular matrix of desmoplastic tumors has been successfully shown to normalize collagen and hyaluronan levels and re-engineer intratumoral mechanical forces, improving tumor perfusion and chemotherapy. ...

Multiscale modelling of solid tumour growth: the effect of collagen micromechanics
Wijeratne, P. A.; Vavourakis, V.; Hipwell, J. H.; Voutouri, C.; Papageorgis, P.; Stylianopoulos, T.; Evans, A.; Hawkes, D. J. (2016)Here we introduce a model of solid tumour growth coupled with a multiscale biomechanical description of the tumour microenvironment, which facilitates the explicit simulation of fibre–fibre and tumour–fibre interactions. ...

Remodeling of extracellular matrix due to solid stress accumulation during tumor growth
Pirentis, A. P.; Polydorou, C.; Papageorgis, P.; Voutouri, C.; Mpekris, F.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2015)Solid stresses emerge as the expanding tumor displaces and deforms the surrounding normal tissue, and also as a result of intratumoral component interplay. Among other things, solid stresses are known to induce extensive ...
