On-chip non-contact mechanical cell stimulation - quantification of SKOV-3 alignment to suspended microstructures

This study shows SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells align with suspended microstructures without direct contact, suggesting a new mechanotactic behavior not observed in other cell types.

Application of sequential cyclic compression on cancer cells in a flexible microdevice

This paper applies sequential cyclic compression to SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells using a microfluidic platform to study biomechanical responses and recovery.

A flexible micro-piston device for mechanical cell stimulation and compression in microfluidic settings

This paper introduces a microfluidic platform with a micro-piston actuator to apply controlled compressive forces on cancer cells, demonstrating its use in mechanical stimulation and cell lysis.

Breast Cancer Cells and Macrophages in a Paracrine-Juxtacrine Loop

This study investigates interactions between breast cancer cells and macrophages, revealing a paracrine-juxtacrine loop involving CSF-1 and EGF, with macrophages showing chemotaxis toward cancer cells and direct contact required for EGF signaling.
