Cell softening in malignant progression of human lung cancer cells by activation of receptor tyrosine kinase AXL
Abstract To study the role of cell softening in malignant progression, Transwell assay and atomic force microscope were used to classify six human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines into two groups: a high motility-low stiffness (HMLS) group and a low motility-high stiffness (LMHS) group. We foun...
