Separating Growth Arrest from Cell Death in Cancer Assays
2026-08-26
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation distinguishes relative viability from fractional viability, showing that these commonly conflated measurements capture different components of an in vitro cancer drug response. Its central practical implication is that growth inhibition, cell killing, and their timing should be measured and interpreted separately when comparing drug mechanisms or assay results.
