Predicting metastasis with a novel biophysical cell-adhesion force technique

Abstract excerpt

Metastasis is widely accepted to be responsible for approximately 90% of all cancer deaths. Current research on metastasis prediction often centers on gene sequencing; however, these analyses must account for the complexity of gene regulation and rely on comprehensive datasets. To investigate the process from a simpler, non-genomic angle, some studies indicate differences in cell adhesion force, an important physi...
