To move forward or migrate, the different cells in our body must exert forces or interact with their surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, a fault in these interactions can also be the ...

Jian Zhang, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, will study how mechanical forces and cellular energy constraints guide cell motion in engineered tissue models.

A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on June 3, 2026, titled "The anticancer effects of PCAIs in ...

A carefully designed metal-free carbon monoxide prodrug may help prevent some of the deadliest forms of cancer from spreading, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

A new study suggests that overstimulating key cancer-growth pathways, rather than shutting them down, could offer a novel way to target pancreatic tumors driven by KRAS mutations.

Biophysicist Susy Kohout explores how cells respond to electrical cues, shedding light on the connection between cell ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...
