Viscoelastic Properties of Breast Cancer Spheroids
In article 2402715, Ankur D. Bordoloi, Pouyan E. Boukany, and co-workers link the viscoelastic properties of breast cancer spheroids to their metastatic potential. In a constricted microfluidic device, benign spheroids are found to be more elastic and viscous than malignant ones, with differences in their relaxation times, morphology, and cytoskeletal organization.
