Linking hypoxia, DNA damage and proliferation in multicellular tumor spheroids

Abstract Background Multicellular Tumor Spheroids are frequently used to mimic the regionalization of proliferation and the hypoxic environment within avascular tumors. Here we exploit these features to study the activation of DNA damage repair pathways and their correlation to developing hypoxia. M...
