A recent article in Small highlights a new method for studying tumor cell interactions and testing anti-metastatic drugs through the development of an Under-oil Open Microfluidic System (UOMS). This ...

Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...

A Japanese research team has discovered a novel global cooperative phenomena of cell interactions in cervical cancer cells. Their findings suggest that the cells are metabolically connected in a ...

Researchers have shown that activation of the protein YAP, known to help cancer cells survive treatment, behaves very differently in cell culture models depending on how they are grown in the lab, ...

Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.
