Oxidative stress mediated by nitrogen at elevated pressure inhibits non-small cell lung cancer growth.
Purpose/Aim: High pressures of gases such as nitrogen enhance production of singlet oxygen. Therefore, we hypothesized that growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells and a human-derived NSCLC explant cou... | {
