Bremen Biophysicists Involved in European Research Network
Radmacher. Many diseased cells show striking mechanical properties: some are harder, others softer than healthy cells. For example, cancer cells are often softer than normal cells. “This is why we are trying [...] ” Innovative Training Network will investigate the extent to which measurements of cell mechanics on individual cells, but also on tissue samples, can be used in clinical diagnostics. The idea is based [...] results from recent years, which have shown that the mechanical properties of cells change in various diseases, such as cancer cells. Within the framework of the network, technologies will be developed in
