Modeling tumor cell adaptations to hypoxia in multicellular tumor spheroids

Abstract Under hypoxic conditions, tumor cells undergo a series of adaptations that promote evolution of a more aggressive tumor phenotype including the activation of DNA damage repair proteins, altered metabolism, and decreased proliferation. Together these changes mitigate the negative impact of o...
