Enzyme-Induced Matrix Softening
A collaborative paper with Professor Kong’s group at UIUC is now published at Macromolecular Bioscience. Enzyme-Induced Matrix Softening Regulates Hepatocarcinoma Cancer Cell Phenotypes Abstract The progression of cancer is often accompanied by changes in the mechanical properties of an extracellular matrix. However, limited efforts have been made to reproduce these biological events in vitro. To this …
Mike Bradney’s MS Defense
Mike successfully completed his MSME defense. Development of an In Vitro Model for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease notorious for poor therapeutic response and low long-term survival. Despite its high fatality rate, there exists only one first line treatment option, on average extending life expectancy by less …
