Single Cell Hydrodynamic Stretching and Microsieve Filtration Reveal Genetic, Phenotypic and Treatment-Related Links to Cellular Deformability

Deformability is shown to correlate with the invasiveness and metastasis of cancer cells. Recent studies suggest epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) might enable cancer metastasis. However, the correlation of EMT with cancer cell deformability has not been well elucidated. Cellular deformabil...
