Abstract: “Harnessing the adaptive immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells has ushered in T cell-based immunotherapies, which have revolutionized cancer treatment by inducing durable remission for many patients. Due to the immense complexity of T cell immunotherapy, nearly all attempts to improve these approaches and to expand their applications have been driven empirically. […]

Abstract:  Self-induced cellular confinement has been shown to play a role in a wide variety of biological processes, including cancer invasion and metastasis, immune cell navigation, and mechanosensitive gene expression and localization. However, the ability of adult stem cells to enter tight confinements has been less studied, despite the fact that stem cells are capable […]

Title: Mechanics of Cancer Abstract:  Cancer is a disease rooted in genetic mutations and epigenetic regulation of cell biology. There is extensive heterogeneity in the biological drivers of this disease across cancer types, across patients with one type of cancer, and even within tumors within a single patient, making early cancer diagnosis, accurate prognosis and treatment […]
