Shear Stress-Mediated Tumor-Endothelial Cross Talk Regulates the Angiogenic Potential of Breast Tumors In Vitro

The structural and functional abnormalities of the tumor vasculature generate regions of elevated interstitial fluid pressure and aberrant flow shear stress within the tumor microenvironment. While research has shown that the hydrodynamics of the tumor vasculature reduce transport and uptake of ther...
