Characterizing deformability and surface friction of cancer cells

Characterizing deformability and surface friction of cancer cells

Metastasis requires the penetration of cancer cells through tight spaces, which is mediated by the physical properties of the cells as well as their interactions with the confined environment. Various microfluidic approaches have been devised to mimic traversal in vitro by measuring the time require...
