Deformation mechanics may be key in cancer treatment: Researchers - Business Standard

This study is critical to understanding how a protective layer surrounding the nucleus helps preserve nuclear shape while cells crawl through the tortuous paths through pores and around tissue fibers

A team has uncovered surprising mechanical behaviors of the nucleus. For years, the nucleus within a cell was thought to be elastic like a rubber ball, deforming and snapping back into shape as the c… [+3189 chars]
