The matrix environmental and cell mechanical properties regulate cell migration and contribute to the invasive phenotype of cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

The minimal structural unit of a solid tumor is a single cell or a cellular compartment such as the nucleus. A closer look inside the cells reveals that there are functional compartments or even structural domains determining the overall properties of a cell such as the mechanical phenotype. The mechanical interaction of these living cells leads to the complex organization such as compartments, tissues and organs...
