Paper 🚨 : ever wonder how tissue level mechanics like peristalsis contributes to cancer progression? @abbieclev @bmentamu used her peristalsis bioreactor to study how and why!
Paper @CMBEjournal @CMBE_BMES : t.ly/MBiTn ;
She's also showing off her device!

Do cancer cells have memory?
Yes, actually they do!
In @MBoCjournal, we found that oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) "learns" in the stiff tumor and then "recalls" their memories once in tumor adjacent stroma.

Meet Blue, a healthy mixed-breed pup who fought two battles with cancer and survived, thanks to her owner Dr. Meriam Saleh’s colleagues at @tamuvetmed!
After surgery, rounds of chemotherapy, and love from her Aggie oncology team, Blue is now cancer free: tx.ag/VetMedBlue

We propose that the nucleus is highly compliant to shape changes in motile cells, and that the surfaces of such a compliant nucleus tend to track the motion of the cell boundary. @bmentamu aippub.org/437vSaS

June is #NationalCancerSurvivorMonth. As of January 1, 2020, about 5% of the entire US population are living with a cancer diagnosis. Over a quarter of people 75 and older are living with cancer. Visit SEER*Explorer for more cancer statistics: buff.ly/45BiRY7

Durable antitumour responses can be triggered by maximizing the cooperative phagocytic potency of macrophages through the disruption of the CD47–SIRPα macrophage checkpoint and by delivering a tumour-opsonizing monoclonal antibody.
