Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The hypothalamus is a small portion of the brain. It is located just above the stem of the brain. It secretes substances that involve in the control of pituitary and other glands function. It plays an important role in the endocrine and nervous systems. It regulates the homeostatic process in the body.

Question 20 According to many previous studies, stiffness of the pancreatic cancer cells is associated with increased invasive potential. Increased invasive potential means that the cancer cells are more likely to escape from the primary tumor and travel to other parts of the body. If you want to study the stiffness of the individual cells (assuming that the cells are not attached to each other), (1) what method would you want to use? And briefly explain why you choose this one. (2) briefly explain how the experiments should be carried out to measure the cell stiffness; (3) briefly discuss what data this experiment would generate; (4) briefly discuss how you would draw conclusions from the acquired data mentioned above.
