We next treated with atorvastatin for 4 days and on the last two days of treatment, stimulated with an LPS/EGF cocktail, a physiologically relevant inflammatory stimulus designed to drive dormant breast cancer cells to emerge and proliferate.32 After 2 days of stimulation, we fixed the cells and imaged scaffolds on a confocal microscope (Fig. 1b–e). The gene discussed is EGF; the disease is breast carcinoma.
