Computer models predict the effects of vessel maturation on tumor dynamics
March 31st, 2005
Computer models predict the effects of vessel maturation on tumor dynamics. According to researchers in Israel, "we analyzed measurements of tumor growth, neovascular maturation and function in human epithelial ovarian carcinoma xenografts, studied noninvasively by magnetic resonance imaging. Results suggest that vascular maturation and mature and immature vessel regression occur continuously during tumor neovascularization." "Moreover, in these spheroids, a high tumor growth-rate is associated with monotonic changes in vessel density (VD) and with large proportions of mature blood vessels, whereas a lower tumor growth-rate is associated with...
