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
Why it matters: VLP mechanics influence stability, entry, and vaccine performance. Envelope modifications may allow us to mechanically engineer VLPs, adding a new dimension to vaccine design.

Using atomic force microscopy, we measured spring constant, breaking forces & deformation of VLPs.
Key result: VLPs containing influenza HA₂ sequences were mechanically stiffer and stronger than gp150 VLPs.
