Their findings suggest, for the first time, that only very tiny regions of a tumor need to stiffen for metastasis to take place. Though still in its infancy, the researchers believe that their technique may prove useful in detecting and mapping the progression of aggressive cancers.<br /> <br /></p> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 16:05:26 +0000 91ÉçÇø Newsroom 5756 at /miam
