By integrating biology & mechanics, this study opens new possibilities for mechanics-based cancer therapies. Could targeting nuclear stiffness and shape be a game-changer for cancer treatment?

🔑 Key takeaways:
✅ Cancer cells must deform their nuclei to invade new tissues.
✅ The nucleus acts as a mechanical regulator of movement.
✅ Theramechanics—modifying nuclear properties—could open new treatment avenues.

Using computer simulations, the research models how cells move through spaces smaller than their nucleus. By adjusting nuclear stiffness & shape, it explores new ways to control cancer spread. This approach is called theramechanics. 🖥️

The nucleus is the stiffest and largest part of the cell—it can act as a physical barrier to movement. What if we could limit cancer spread by changing its mechanical properties? This study investigates that question. 💡
