Mina Bissell: Experiments that point to a new understanding of cancer

The video explores the speaker's journey from a chemist to a cancer researcher, challenging traditional cancer theories. It emphasizes the role of context and microenvironment in cell behavior, particularly in cancer development. Through experiments, the speaker demonstrates how the extracellular matrix influences cell behavior and how altering the architecture can revert cancer cells to normal. The talk concludes with a call for curiosity and further exploration in understanding the language of form in biology.
