Mechanical Stimulation influences Organoid Growth
September 7, 2021 | Terry Sharrer
In both organ and tumor growth, chemical and mechanical signaling interact. In this piece, German scientists were able to see in their microscopes fluorescent labeled cells and how the surrounding extra cellular matrix of collagen deformed to allow branch elongation. Their study focused on mammillary duct tissue, but they supposed similar branching happened in normal kidney and liver tissue. MORE
