Soft fibrin gels promote selection and growth of tumourigenic cells

The identification of stem-cell-like cancer cells through conventional methods that depend on stem-cell markers is often unreliable. We developed a mechanical method of selecting tumourigenic cells by culturing single cancer cells in fibrin matrices of ~100 Pa in stiffness. When cultured within thes...
