Tiny surface shapes steer cancer cells, paving the way for better lab tests and safer implants

Griffith University researchers have shown that the shape and surface chemistry of microscopic "re-entrant" structures—tiny overhanging caps arranged like mushroom tops—can tune how cancer cells stick ...
