Giving breasts a squeeze could hinder cancer growth

Women suffering from breast cancer may benefit from giving their breasts an extra squeeze – literally.

According to researchers from the University of California at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, placing mechanical force on malignant mammary cells can actually reverse their irregular growth process and put them back on track for a normal growth pattern.

“We are showing that tissue organization is sensitive to mechanical inputs from the environment at the beginning stages of growth and development,” said Daniel Fletcher, professor of bioengineering at Berkeley and faculty scientist at the Berkeley Lab, as well as the study’s lead investigator.

Breast tissue grows, shrinks and shifts throughout the course of a woman’s life in a structured pattern – and ultimately stops growing at some point. Breast cancer is often characterized by a breakdown in this normal growth pattern, causing breast cancer cells to grow irregularly.

Through a previous experiment at the Berkeley Lab, researchers showed it was possible to prevent these malignant cells from transforming into a tumor by manipulating the cells’ surrounding environment through the use of biochemical inhibitors. Ultimately the surrounding healthy cells could persuade the cancerous cells to grow normally again.

The most recent work from the Berkeley Lab utilizes the same concept, but introduces mechanical inhibitors rather than chemical inhibitors. The researchers grew malignant breast epithelial cells in a gelatin-like substance, which was injected into flexible silicon chambers. They then applied force to the silicon over time, and ultimately witnessed the malignant cells grow into more healthy-looking cells. Time-lapse microscopy showed the change in the compressed breast cells over time.

While their research is compelling, the researchers do not advocate for compression bras or force alone to treat breast cancer.

“Compression, in and of itself, is not likely to be a therapy,” Fletcher said. “But, this does give us new clues to track down the molecules and structures that could eventually be targeted for therapies.”

The research findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco Monday.

Ha! Keeping my wife safe from breast cancer, every day. It's part of a husband's duty.

All right lads we now have our mission. We'll be working in the buddy system from here on out. So if you see your buddy get slapped in the face at any point or accosted by the fuzz help get him out of there.

We risk facial damage and imprisonment for the health and safety of our womanfolk. Good luck to us all.

What's great is that the bigger the boobs, the more you have to squeeze.

Does anyone know where I can find Christina Hendricks?

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Because you're making broad, oversweeping generalizations... Whembly is a father of 2, probably married, I know d-usa is married, Snrub I also believe is married, and I'm single, but I don't play wow (anymore) and even then why would I want cheez-its during a raid? They don't leave a cheesy film that lets me stick to my mouse for better grip like Cheetos do. The rest are a toss up, and Chaos Girl could probably get away with feeling her own....

Well, the written word is still capable of creating such nuances, but the internet has distilled language into it's simplest forms. It also sucks when people misspell or misuse words, because that is a way to muddy the waters if you will.

Also in regards to Whembly, it is I who is making the broad, sweeping generalizations
