This paper develops a computationally guided metastasis-on-a-chip platform to evaluate chemotactic cues in cancer cells, finding that VEGF-C promotes migration in Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma while VEGF-A165 has no effect.

This study compares photothermal therapy and magnetic hyperthermia in 3D neuroblastoma models, finding that magnetic hyperthermia provides more uniform heating and proliferation control, while photothermal therapy shows variable effects and can paradoxically increase proliferation.

This study uses AFM-FS to analyze nanomechanical properties of cell-derived matrices from COL6-RD patients, showing differences in elastic modulus and potential for gene therapy response assessment.
