Cellular push and pull, a key to the body's response to processes such as cancer

(Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC)) Researchers led by Pere Roca-Cusachs at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and Isaac Almendros at IDIBAPS discover how force dynamics affect cells, and living tissues. The results give an insight into the critical mechanical processes that occur in different diseases such as cancer.
