Oncogenesis, lipids rafts and liquid crystals: A nanoscopic supplementary field for applied researches and a new hope of advances in cancer

Liquid crystals (LC) are an intermediate state between an ordered crystalline solid and a more disordered liquid. LCs (or mesophases) are ubiquitous in living systems, optimizing multiple biological functions that could not operate in purely solid or liquid environments as both mobility and organiza...
