Surface shapes control cancer cell behavior for improved lab tests and implants

news.griffith.edu.au

Tiny surface shapes can control cancer cell behavior, impacting their stickiness, spread, and multiplication. Researchers found that the geometry and surface chemistry of microscopic "re-entrant" structures can be tuned to guide cancer cell responses, improving lab tests and potential implant designs. This discovery could lead to better cancer drug testing, methods to stop cancer spread, and the development of medical implants that resist cancer growth.
