Scientists probe hidden force behind cancer and immune cell fitness
Original: The hidden ‘force’ behind cancer and immune cell fitness
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory are highlighting a newly described mechanical 'force' that appears to influence both cancer progression and the fitness of immune cells. The work suggests physical forces inside tissues, not just chemical signals, may shape how tumours grow and how effectively immune cells fight disease, with potential implications for future cancer therapies.
Why now: The laboratory has just announced new research linking mechanical forces to tumour growth and immune function, drawing scientific and public interest.
