The researchers tested the drug combinations against four different human cervical cancer cell lines. (sciencedaily.com)
They tested about 2,400 variants of their particles in cervical cancer cells by measuring whether they could turn off a gene coding for a fluorescent protein that had been added to the cells. (sciencedaily.com)
Professor Zhang's team were able to visualize the pinning, stretching and rupturing of cervical cancer cells by immunostaining different parts of the cells and viewing them under a confocal fluorescent microscope and a high - resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM). (sciencedaily.com)
