Physicists model cell migration to learn how cancer cells navigate tissue
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
This migration mode is one of the ways cancer cells navigate tissue during metastasis. In a new study researchers have explored mesenchymal migration through cell simulations and mathematical modeling. Their aim: to learn more about how cancer cells size up surrounding tissue for stiffness a
