Study reveals a unique mode of cell migration on soft 'viscoelastic' surfaces
Date Time Study reveals a unique mode of cell migration on soft ‘viscoelastic’ surfaces Stanford engineers find that cancer cells exhibit a unique mode of migration on squishy materials, which are similar to biological tissues. In contrast, cell movement – a process central to cancer metastasis and other biological processes – is typically studied on very rigid materials. By Allison Gasparini Inside your body, cell movement plays a crucial role in many significant biological processes, including wound healing, immune respon...
