Coordinated cell rotation along a curved matrix interface can sculpt epithelial tissues into spherical morphologies. Subsequently, radially oriented invasion of multicellular strands or branches can o...

Summary: Amoeboid cancer cells exploit actomyosin contractility, metabolic adaptability and immune evasion to drive metastasis, representing a distinct and therapeutically targetable state within the ...

Vocal fold cancer tumours lose some of their malignant traits when mechanically stimulated by physiological stretch or vibrations, mimicking the opening and closing of vocal folds and phonation.

Hanahan revisits the evolving framework of cancer hallmarks, synthesizing 25 years of conceptual refinement into a multidimensional view of tumor biology. This review highlights how aberrant capabilit...

In research that could shed light on the growth and formation of complex tissue architectures, Brown University engineers show how cells orbit and reconfigure their surroundings to venture outward fro...

The viscosity of tumour cells is shown to govern their ability to disseminate through the bloodstream and extravasate, establishing a key biomechanical factor of metastasis.

Identifying individual cells and tracking their movements over time are two critically important tasks in bioimage analysis. We discuss a fresh wave of tools that push these techniques toward peak per...

This commentary explores how collective intelligence arises from local interactions in animal groups and how these principles inform the design of swarm robotic systems, addressing the challenge of ac...
