Impact of Dimensionality and Network Disruption on Microrheology of Cancer Cells in 3D Environments
Dimensionality is a fundamental component that can have profound implications on the characteristics of physical systems. In cell biology, however, the majority of studies on cell physical properties, from rheology to force generation to migration, have been performed on 2D substrates, and it is not...
