Cancer is not only driven by genes but also by physics. Researchers show that tissue mechanics can determine whether mutated cells are eliminated or spread. These early physical cues may shape cancer in ways biology alone cannot explain.

Let me explain the significance in a🧵1/7
Some babies are born with a condition where part of the food pipe is missing, making feeding and growth extremely challenging. Current treatment often involves multiple complex surgeries, which can be physically demanding and carry long-term complications.
Researchers at University College London, in collaboration with Great Ormond Street Hospital, have developed a lab-grown oesophagus using the patient’s own cells. In early animal studies, the tissue integrated well and supported natural movement of food, without signs of rejection.
If successful in humans, this approach could offer a safer and more durable alternative to existing surgical methods.
It is still in the early stages, but it signals a meaningful step forward for regenerative medicine and paediatric care.

What’s the most important quality of a successful scientist? Chemistry laureate Carolyn Bertozzi believes it’s resilience. “You dust yourself off, you get back up there and you go out the next day and try again,” she said.
Do you agree?
