Isolation of Primary Human Colon Tumor Cells from Surgical Tissues and Culturing Them Directly on Soft Elastic Substrates for Traction Cytometry

Cancer cells respond to matrix mechanical stiffness in a complex manner using a coordinated, hierarchical mechano-chemical system composed of adhesion ...

The neuromuscular function of the stomach and duodenum provides the mechanical forces that drive digestion and are responsible for sensations of satiety and of dyspepsia. This article reviews (1) the neuroendocrine factors controlling upper gastrointestinal motility, (2) noninvasive techniques to evaluate gastroduodenal motility, and (3) the pathophysiology and treatment of gastroparesis.

Gastroduodenal motility.
