Because typical morphological changes in apoptotic and dead cells are a rounded shape, cell shrinkage and lost adhesion to the flask surface, and even floating fragments, whereas senescent cells have flattened and enlarged cell shapes [53], we further explored the effects of AURKA inhibition by assessing the cell survival, cell morphology changes and effect on radiosensitivity in three NSCLC cell lines. The gene discussed is AURKA; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
