Amit Pathak, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, and his team found that one small defect in tissue boundaries known as the basement membrane can lead normal cells to take on characteristics of diseased cells, such as cancer cells, and invade the surrounding tissue.
