Abstract excerpt
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with limited treatment options. Emerging evidence shows that mechanotransduction, driven by matrix stiffness and mechanical signaling, promotes TNBC invasion and metastasis. As breast cancer progresses, expansion of fibroblasts and tumor-reactive stroma increases extracellular matrix deposition, generating matrix tension and enhancing...
