Integrin-Mediated Mechanotransduction Controls Activation of Yap and Invasive Growth of Breast Cancer
<p>Tumor extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is correlated with the aggressiveness of breast cancer. Integrin-mediated adhesion and signaling are crucial for mammary tumorigenesis and tumor progression, in which focal adhesion kinase (FAK) - Src family kinases (SFKs) serves as a hub to relay the …
