Mixtures of drug-resistant and drug-sensitive tumour cells growing in 3-dimensional boluses in collagen gel matrix are shown to be effectively coupled so that the response of the mixture is significantly influenced by a subpopulation making up only 1% of the total cells.
研究表明,在胶原蛋白凝胶基质中以三维团块形式生长的耐药性和药物敏感性肿瘤细胞混合物能够有效耦合,以至于仅占总细胞1%的亚群就能显著影响混合物的反应。
