Using a unique stiffness-changing hydrogel system, investigators at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have uncovered new insights into how the stiffening of breast tissue plays a role in breast cancer development. Findings from the new study—published recently in PNAS through an article entitled “Dynamically stiffened matrix promotes malignant transformation of mammary epithelial cells […]
