Pressure hinders cancer cell growth
A team of researchers at the University of Galway in Ireland has uncovered a biological mechanism that explains the slowdown of cancer tumor growth. They found that mechanical pressure resulting from dense tissues prevents cancer cells from dividing once they reach a certain size, thereby reducing their rate of proliferation. Experiments showed that cells in stiffer environments contract and cease growing. It is believed that this discovery could open new avenues for treatments based on modifying the mechanical environment of tumors.
