Separating Growth Arrest from Cell Death in Cancer
2026-09-15
Schwartz’s 2022 dissertation shows that relative viability and fractional viability capture different components of anticancer response: proliferative arrest and cell death. Its paired-endpoint, time-aware framework helps cancer biology researchers interpret drug screens more rigorously and avoid treating growth inhibition as a direct surrogate for killing.
