Abnormal microvascular phenotypes in a mouse model of glioblastoma and the effect of vessel compression on blood flow
… could thus benefit patient care. One tumour vessel abnormality is vessel compression, which is the result of high solid stress in tumours. Studies have shown that vessel compression correlates with reduced survival rates, and increased hypoxia and oxygen heterogeneity. However, the …

Modulating tissue mechanics to increase oxygen delivery to tumors
… tissue oxygen levels: oxygen supply via blood vessels and oxygen consumption by cells. I focused on improving supply to combat hypoxia. Two vessel abnormalities limit supply. Compression decreases the density of perfused vessels supplying tumors. Excessive leakiness slows blood flow partly by …
