Congratulations to IMG Professor, Dr. Xin Tang, and IMG Members, Keming Li, Miao Huang, and Chenyu Liang, on their recent publication in the journal Oncogene! This work, titled “Biophysics in tumor growth and progression: from single mechano-sensitive molecules to mechanomedicine”, highlights cancer mechanics ranging from molecular and cellular level to tissue level and clarifies functional crosstalk between mechanotransduction and oncogenic signaling. This pioneering work paves the new ways to leverage the anomalous physical alterations in human tumors as new therapeutic targets for next-generation cancer mechanomedicine.
