Spanish researchers from the CSIC discovered that human breast cells, both healthy and cancerous, exhibit mechanical resonances, or vibrations, which differ depending on the cell’s condition. Using advanced sensors, the team found that these vibrations range between 20-200 kHz. This breakthrough could lead to new cancer diagnostics and even treatments by targeting cancerous cells with ultrasonic waves. The findings, published in PRX Life, validate a 1950s hypothesis about cell vibrations and may open new research paths in cellular mechanics and disease.
