美国物理学会（APS）2016年会于3月14日-3月18日在美国东部城市巴尔地摩（Baltimore，Maryland，USA）举行，刘雳宇教授在会上做邀请报告“3-D Technology Approaches for Biological Ecologies”。会后，刘雳宇教授接受APS做关于肿瘤细胞转移机制研究的专访。

......Others presented research on how the matrix of molecules that occupy space between cells in the body could help or hinder cancer cells from invading other tissues. Liyu Liu, a former postdoc in Austin’s lab who is now at China’s Chongqing University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, described a microfluidic chip he developed to study how cancer cells interact with collagen fibers, a major component of the extracellular matrix. By placing cancer cells and collagen together on the chip, Liu observed fibers lining up in parallel rows, a process that he thinks may help the cells pierce blood vessel membranes. “The cancer cell can construct a highway for invasion,” he said.......

......美国普林斯顿大学Austin实验室前博士后研究员，目前就职于中国重庆大学和中科院的刘雳宇教授介绍其研究小组已经建立起了一套微流体芯片，可以用于研究肿瘤细胞和作为最主要的细胞外基质材料的胶原纤维之间的相互作用。通过将肿瘤细胞和胶原一起放入芯片分钟，刘教授组发现纤维细胞会线性排列成行，这样一个过程可能有助于肿瘤细胞刺穿血管膜。刘雳宇教授指出：“肿瘤细胞会自己构建入侵的高速公路”。......
