    Cancer Cells’ Hidden Power Source: NAMs Boost DNA Repair Under Mechanical Stress

    Unveiling a Hidden Power Source in Cancer Cells A groundbreaking study from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona reveals that cancer cells possess a rapid, localized energy boost when they are squeezed through tight spaces. In experiments using a specialized microscope that compresses living cells to three microns wide, researchers observed a dramatic,…
