Stiffness Helps Stem Cells Sense and Snuff Metastatic Cancer (2 of 3)

image: Engineered stem cells programmed to seek out cancer and activate chemotherapy in response to tissue stiffness are shown infiltrating a tumor. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 26, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by L. Liu at institution in University of California, Irvine in Irvine, Calif., and colleagues was titled, "Mechanoresponsive stem cells to target cancer metastases through biophysical cues." view more
