We are happy to announce the publication of the paper "Cell viscosity influences haematogenous dissemination and metastatic extravasation of tumour cells" under co-authorship of Klemens Uhlmann and Daniel Balzani  in the journal nature materials. 

Under the leadership of collegues from the field of biology, this paper investigates the necessary mechanical prerequisites for the development of metastases from circulating tumor cells (CTC). An important building block therein is the application of  the COMPAX method, which allows the numerical computation of the stress state within a cell based on the deformation of a bead.
