Spheroid formation of human thyroid cancer cells under simulated microgravity: a possible role of CTGF and CAV1
10 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) formed scaffold-free under microgravity are of high interest for research and medicine. Their formation mechanism can be studied in space in real microgravity or on Earth using ground-based facilities (GBF), which simulate microgravity. On Earth, these experiments are more cost-efficient and easily performable. However, each GBF might exert device-specific and...
