Research led by LMU's Joachim Rädler uncovers how cancer cell nuclei deform when migrating through narrow channels. Using synthetic microstructures and advanced microscopy, the study shows that ...
In this way, the researchers investigated the mechanics and dynamics of cancer cell nuclei that migrated through deformable 3D hydrogel channels. "Using confocal imaging and hydrogel bead ...
Together, the findings suggested that 17α-estradiol extensively reshaped the cell populations, cellular communication, neuropeptide secretion, and neural synapse activity in aged hypothalamus, which ...
