New themed collection: Soft Matter Aspects of Cancer

We are very pleased to announce a themed collection in Soft Matter on the Soft matter aspects of cancer.

 

This special issue presents important developments in cancer cell mechanics, mechanobiology, tissue mechanics and bioengineered models of cancer, in addition to emerging technologies in the field. The Guest Editors for this collection are:

  • Professor Tanmay Lele (Texas A&M University, USA)
  • Professor Anna Taubenberger (Technische Universität Dresden, Germany)

In their Editorial, Guest Editors Tanmay and Anna discuss the importance of understanding the biophysical changes in cancers and how these can be studied through the lens of soft matter research.

The full collection can be found here and we have also highlighted a selection of articles below. We hope you enjoy these, and the rest of the articles included in the collection.
