3d traction forces in cancer cell invasion

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Thorsten M. Koch et al. from the Department of Physics, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany, Molecular Integrative Physiological Sciences Program, Harvard School of Public Health have published the paper: 3D Traction Forces in Cancer Cell Invasion, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of March/30,/2012
  • what: The authors show that high contractility is required but is not sufficient for invasion through a dense 3D network; some noninvasive tumor cells can also generate high contractile forces but lack the ability to direct those forces to drive their locomotion.
