🔬 An #IBEC-led study has demonstrated the ability of #ColorectalCancer stem cells to change their mechanical properties, facilitating the successful metastatic process.

🧫 They did this using patient derived tumour #organoids.

This is the result of a fantastic collaboration with many great scientists @XavierTrepat @valeria_ventur @adriacanyellas @juanfraam @LeoneRossetti @Ruprecht_Lab @GuckLab @diz_lab and others! Made possible also by all the core facilities at @IBECBarcelona and @PCB_UB !

@valeria_ventur It was great squeezing cells with you @valeria_ventur.. thanks so much for your help!

[Xavier Trepat @XavierTrepat]

Are colorectal cancer stem cells mechanically distinct from the rest of the tumor? @SeforaConti addressed this question using patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids. The answer is yes and you can read it in our new preprint (LGR5+ CSCs labelled red)

The preprint of a great collaboration with @SeforaConti is finally out! Check it out to know more about the mechanical differences of cancer stem cells vs the rest of the tumor, I can ensure for super nice blebs (and much more!)

@RaimonSunyer @XavierTrepat Thank you Raimon! I really enjoyed the discussion!
