    Abstract Disease progression is usually accompanied by changes in the biochemical composition of cells and tissues and their biophysical properties. For instance, hallmarks of cancer include the stiffening of tissues caused by extracellular matrix remodelling and the softening of individual cancer cells. In this context, accumulating evidence has shown that immune cells sense and respond to mechanical signals from the environment. However, the mechanisms regulating these mechanical aspects of immune surveillance remain partially understood. The growing appreciation for the 'mechano-immunology' field has urged researchers to investigate how immune cells sense and respond to mechanical cues in various disease settings, paving the way for the development of novel engineering strategies that aim at mechanically modulating and potentiating immune cells for enhanced immunotherapies. Recent pioneer developments in this direction have laid the foundations for leveraging 'mechanical immunoengineering' strategies to treat various diseases. This Review first outlines the mechanical changes occurring during pathological progression in several diseases, including cancer, fibrosis and infection. We next highlight the mechanosensitive nature of immune cells and how mechanical forces govern the immune responses in different diseases. Finally, we discuss how targeting the biomechanical features of the disease milieu and immune cells is a promising strategy for manipulating therapeutic outcomes.

    Abstract In cells, organelles are distributed nonrandomly to regulate cells' physiological and disease-associated processes. Based on their morphology, position within the cell, and contacts with other organelles, they exert different biological functions. Endo-lysosomes are critical cell metabolism and nutrient-sensing regulators modulating cell growth and cellular adaptation in response to nutrient availability. Their spatial distribution is intimately linked to their function. In this review, we will discuss the role of endolysosomes under physiological conditions and in the context of cancer progression, with a special focus on their morphology, the molecular mechanisms determining their subcellular position, and the contacts they form with other organelles. We aim to highlight the relationship between cell architecture and cell function and its impact on maintaining organismal homeostasis.

    Abstract During cancer progression, metastatic dissemination accounts for ∼90% of death in patients. Metastasis occurs upon dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTC) through body fluids, in particular the bloodstream, and several key steps remain elusive. Although the majority of CTCs travel as single cells, they can form clusters either with themselves (homoclusters) or with other circulating cells (heteroclusters) and thereby increase their metastatic potential. In addition, cancer cell mechanics and mechanical cues from the microenvironment are important factors during metastatic progression. Recent progress in intravital imaging technologies, biophysical methods, and microfluidic-based isolation of CTCs allow now to probe mechanics at single cell resolution while shedding light on key steps of the hematogenous metastatic cascade. In this review, we discuss the importance of CTC mechanics and their correlation with metastatic success and how such development could lead to the identification of therapeutically relevant targets.

    Abstract Metastatic dissemination accounts for most of the death in patients during cancer progression. There is thus an urge to identify specific biomarkers as proxies for cancer progression and assessment of treatment efficiency. Cancer is a systemic disease involving the shuttling of tumor cells and tumor secreted factors to distant organs, mostly via biofluids. During this transfer, these factors are accessible for easy sampling and therefore constitute a unique source of information witnessing the presence and the evolution of the disease. Hence, liquid biopsies offer multiple advantages, including simple and low-invasive sampling procedures, low cost, and higher compliance. Importantly, liquid biopsies are adapted to personalized medicine allowing a longitudinal follow-up to monitor treatment efficiency or resistance, and risk of relapse.The evolution of methodologies to isolate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples associated with the characterization of their membrane surface repertoire and content have been instrumental in the emergence of liquid biopsies as an easy and non-invasive alternative as opposed to classical surgery-mediated tumor biopsies.In this chapter, we comment on CTCs and EVs carrying features with great potential as cancer biomarkers. More specifically, we focus on the adhesive and mechanical properties of CTCs as metastatic markers. We also consider the recent development of EVs isolation methods and the identification of new biomarkers. Finally, we discuss their relevance as cancer prognosis tools.

    Abstract Dissemination and replication of viruses into hosts is a multistep process where viral particles infect, navigate, and indoctrinate various cell types. Viruses can reach tissues that are distant from their infection site by subverting subcellular mechanisms in ways that are, sometimes, disruptive. Modeling these steps, at appropriate resolution and within animal models, is cumbersome. Yet, mimicking these strategies in vitro fails to recapitulate the complexity of the cellular ecosystem. Here, we will discuss relevant in vivo platforms to dissect the cellular and molecular programs governing viral dissemination and briefly discuss organoid and ex vivo alternatives. We will focus on the zebrafish model and will describe how it provides a transparent window to unravel new cellular mechanisms of viral dissemination in vivo.

    Abstract Inhibition of metastatic cancer cell colonization and outgrowth is arguably one of the greatest therapeutic challenges. Reporting in Cancer Discovery, Liu et al. (2018) describe how homophilic interactions of CD44, a classical breast cancer stem cell marker, drive tumor cell aggregation outside the primary tumor to augment their metastatic potential.

    Abstract Metastatic progression, which begins with the invasion and migration of tumor cells from a primary tumor, marks a major turning point in the evolution of cancer. Indeed, it eventually leads to the formation of secondary tumors, the metastases, which are very often responsible for the patient's death. Understanding the mechanisms controlling the different steps of this process, as well as those explaining the fundamental phenomenon of organotropism (i.e. the distribution of metastases in distant organs by a non-random and tumor-specific process), is essential to define new innovative therapeutic solutions. In this review paper, we will present how biomechanics is an essential element to this understanding, and will emphasize the importance of this orthogonal and promising angle of study as well as our laboratory's focus on the late stages of dissemination, arrest and extravasation of circulating cancer cells and factors secreted by the primary tumor such as extracellular vesicles.
