      A ligand-independent integrin β1 mechanosensory complex guides spindle orientation 

      Petridou, Nicoletta I.; Skourides, Paris A. (2016)
      Control of spindle orientation is a fundamental process for embryonic development, morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis, while defects are associated with tumorigenesis and other diseases. Force sensing is one of the ...

      Biphasic modeling of brain tumor biomechanics and response to radiation treatment 

      Angeli, S.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2016)
      Biomechanical forces are central in tumor progression and response to treatment. This becomes more important in brain cancers where tumors are surrounded by tissues with different mechanical properties. Existing mathematical ...

    • Article  

      Combining two strategies to improve perfusion and drug delivery in solid tumors 

      Stylianopoulos, T.; Jain, R. K. (2013)
      Blood perfusion in tumors can be significantly lower than that in the surrounding normal tissue owing to the leakiness and/or compression of tumor blood vessels. Impaired perfusion reduces oxygen supply and results in a ...

      Evolution of osmotic pressure in solid tumors 

      Voutouri, C.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2014)
      The mechanical microenvironment of solid tumors includes both fluid and solid stresses. These stresses play a crucial role in cancer progression and treatment and have been analyzed rigorously both mathematically and ...

      FAK transduces extracellular forces that orient the mitotic spindle and control tissue morphogenesis 

      Petridou, Nicoletta I.; Skourides, Paris A. (2014)
      Spindle orientation is critical for proper morphogenesis of organs and tissues as well as for the maintenance of tissue morphology. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms linking the ...

      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 ...

      Role of constitutive behavior and tumor-host mechanical interactions in the state of stress and growth of solid tumors 

      Voutouri, C.; Mpekris, F.; Papageorgis, P.; Odysseos, A. D.; Stylianopoulos, T. (2014)
      Mechanical forces play a crucial role in tumor patho-physiology. Compression of cancer cells inhibits their proliferation rate, induces apoptosis and enhances their invasive and metastatic potential. Additionally, compression ...
