The heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in cardiac tissues, a new Science study reports. The results shed light on the role of mechanical forces in protecting the heart from cancer and may pave the way to new cancer therapies. https://scim.ag/42xU4DX

Recently published: PhD work of @leekruse.bsky.social Viruses don’t just interact with cells biochemically — their mechanical properties also matter. We asked how modifying envelope proteins change stiffness and strength of HIV virus‑like particles (VLPs). www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
