Congratulations to Dr. Rory Staunton, Dr. Woong Young So, and Dr. Kandice Tanner on the publication of our paper studying cell mechanics in 3D! The study found that malignant breast cancer cells are mechanically plastic and are stiffer than the local microenvironment when cultured in 3D. In contrast, nonmalignant cells more closely match the mechanics of the local ECM. The study can be found here.
