Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...
Could Surprising Basement Membrane Property Be Harnessed to Constrain Tumors and Prevent Metastasis?
Studies by scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Beijing Normal University, and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have generated new insights into the elastic ...
For cancer cells to metastasize, they must first break free of a tumor's own defenses. Most tumors are sheathed in a protective "basement" membrane -- a thin, pliable film that holds cancer cells in ...
