The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the affected cells. This is shown by two recent research studies from Lund University. "This helps us to better understand how the mechanical properties of the tumour microenvironment actively drive cancer development and spread,” says Vinay Swaminathan, senior lecturer at Lund Univ
