other properties in the absence of the protein in ways that reduced the likelihood that they would travel away from the tumor — a sign that myoferlin not only changes genes in cancer cells, but also alters the cells»
mechanical properties.
The research suggests that reducing production of the protein, called myoferlin, affects cancer cells in two primary ways: by changing the activation of many genes involved in metastasis in favor of normal cell behavior, and by altering
mechanical properties of cancer cells — including their shape and ability to invade — so they are more likely to remain nested together rather than breaking away to travel to
other tissues.

mechanical properties, such as softness and flexibility, for the catheter material.
To find out, Marc McKee's research team in McGill's Faculty of Dentistry, together with Richard Chromik's group in Engineering and
other colleagues, used new sample - preparation techniques to expose the interior of the eggshells to study their molecular nanostructure and
mechanical properties.
Cells in a tumor or tissue can change their own
mechanical properties in often complex ways, using genetic programs and
other feedback loops, and if jamming is to provide a solid conceptual foundation for aspects of cancer, it will need to account for this ability.
