Open-Chip Design Separates Fluid Resistance From Wall Confinement to Trace Cell Behavior

Most cancer studies focus on chemical signals or stiff tumor surroundings, but the stickiness of the fluid itself has received little attention. For glioblastoma, the invasion front is about eight times more viscous than the necrotic core, creating a rising resistance that migrating cells must overcome.
