Abstract excerpt
For the invasive migration of tumor cells, at least two mechanisms are currently discussed: (1) the mesenchymal mode depending on extracellular proteolysis and (2) the proteolysis-independent amoeboid mode depending on the activity of the Rho kinase ROCK. The ability of tumor cells to switch betw...
