Certain human cells move more slowly through thin fluids, like blood, than through thicker fluids, like mucus, according to a new study. The researchers who carried out the study found that these ...

Based on cells’ ability to respond to physical stimuli, a team of researchers hypothesized that extracellular fluid viscosity (which varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as ...

The viscosity of extracellular fluid is a key physical cue, but its impact on cell function and cancer-cell dissemination has remained largely unknown. Experiments in various systems reveal that ...
