Effect of Electric Fields on the Mechanical Mechanism of Regorafenib–VEGFR2 Interaction to Enhance Inhibition of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Yichen Tian, Fenghui Liao, Heng Sun, Yongrong Lei, Yuna Fu, Feng Xia, Jianhua Wang

“…Here, we explored how electric fields enhance the inhibition of regorafenib with regard to the activity, invasion, and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. We found that electric fields lead to an increase in the normal (adhesion) and transverse (friction) interaction forces between regorafenib and VEGFR2. …”
