Abstract:Mechanical forces play a key role in the initiation and progression of cancer. Intercellular interactions between fibroblasts and cancer cells contribute a large portion of the mechanical forces in tumor tissue. Hence, further investigation of the mechanical force-mediated intercellular interactions between cancer cells and fibroblasts is urgently needed, given the slow progress in the management of various solid cancers. In our previous study, we observed obvious mechanical force-mediated interactions between… Show more
