Expérimental Description
Cells can sense and respond to external forces and mechanotransduction events appear to be critical for most cellular functions, including cell migration and invasion. This M2 internship project will study mechanotransduction in the context of glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive brain tumour, and Alzheimer’s disease. The project will focus on the role of the Alzheimer amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide in GBM cell mechanics, migration and invasive properties.
