Does Homeostatic Pressure Explain Tumor Growth?
Physicists from the Curie Institute, France, explored the relative impact of the mechanical pressure induced by dividing cells in biological tissues.
This
approach complements traditional studies on genetic and biochemical
signalling mechanisms to explain experimental observations of how
biological tissues evolve. This work, recently published in European
Physical Journal E,
could have significant implications for the understanding of cancer
growth.
