An international team of researchers led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities engineers have found that cancer cells can gravitate toward certain mechanical "sweet spot" environments, providing new insights into how cancer invades the body.

An international research group has investigated the mechanisms of cell migration and the impact of tissue rigidity on cell positioning and steering. The research sheds light on e.g. cancer cell migration and opens new possibilities for stopping and directing it.

Study finds cancer cells gravitate toward mechanical ‘sweet spot’ environments.

Researchers at TU Wien (Vienna) have developed a method to guide individual cells to the appropriate place with laser-guided precision.

For more than two decades, University of Alabama at Birmingham researcher Susan Bellis, Ph.D., has studied how the addition of sialic acid to various proteins increases cancer resistance and oncogenicity.

Treating wounds with an extract taken from wild blueberries may improve healing, according to a new study.

Furin inhibitors as potential therapeutics for treating COVID-19 and other diseases, wherein furin is integral for their pathogenicity and progression.

When tumors spread, cancer cells migrate to other parts of the body through the blood or lymphatic vessels. Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria have now found a new protein that prevents cancer cells from doing so by making them stick more tightly to their surroundings.

A novel protein regulator of tumor angiogenesis, TMEM230, was recently characterized by researchers to have a role in tumor development and vascularization, with potential as a target for anti-tumor therapy in difficult-to-treat cancers such as glioblastoma.

Oregon State University research has shed new light on the way malignant cells change their shape and migration techniques to invade different types of tissue.
