Matrix stiffness regulates drug induced apoptosis and redox status. a Live/dead cell staining of MDA-MB-231 cells post-72-hour drug treatment; Cells were allowed to recover in fresh medium for 1 h (left) and 96 h (right), more dead cells and less live cells in 96 h recovery, scale bar = 1000 µm; b MDA-MB-231 cell clusters dissembled after paclitaxel treatment, scale bar = 100 µm). c The redox status (CCK-8 reduction) of MDA-MB-231 changed post drug treatment, 1 vs. 96 h of recovery, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
