PENZBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center have studied the involvement of “microtentacles,” or extensions of the plasma membrane of breast cancer cells, in how cancers spread to distant locations in the body (1). Targeting these microtentacles might prove to be a new way to prevent or slow the growth of these secondary cancers, scientists say. The researchers used Roches´s (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) xCELLigence RTCA SP Instrument to measure attachment as the relative impedance change, cell index, across the microelectronic sensors at the bottom of the system´s E-Plates.
