Disordered substrates shown to promote tumor cell escape
Original: Disordered substrates promote tumor cell escape in simplified models
New research reports that tumor cells move more readily and escape when grown on disordered, irregular substrates rather than uniform surfaces, based on simplified laboratory models. The finding suggests tissue disorganization may play a role in cancer cell migration and invasion, offering a possible avenue for studying how tumors spread beyond their original site.
Why now: The study offers a new mechanistic insight into how physical environmental disorder may influence cancer cell migration.
