How cancer cells thrive in diverse body tissues: New biotech method reveals

Researchers from the University of Turku, Turku Bioscience Centre, in collaboration with Misvik Biology Oy, have pioneered a method to explore the behavior of cancer cells in both soft and rigid tissues. This groundbreaking discovery unravels the mystery of how cancer cells from solid tumors can spread and thrive in softer tissues, such as the liver. Typically, a cancerous tumor is a hard lump, distinct from surrounding tissue. Numerous studies have indicated that stiffer tissues promote the growth of cancer cells.
