The viscosity of extracellular fluid is a key physical cue, but its impact on cell function and cancer-cell dissemination has remained largely unknown. Experiments in various systems reveal that ...
New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...
When your doctor thinks you might have an infection or an allergy, a simple blood test should give answers within hours. But for much of the world, that test can take days—or never happen at all. The ...
A novel method for deforming cells mechanically in viscoelastic fluids to enable high efficiency, high viability and high throughput intracellular delivery. Medical research has made incredible ...
