Tumor matrix stiffness provides fertile soil for cancer stem cells

Tumor matrix stiffness provides fertile soil for cancer stem cells

Abstract Matrix stiffness is a mechanical characteristic of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that increases from the tumor core to the tumor periphery in a gradient pattern in a variety of solid tumors and can promote proliferation, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance, and recurrence. Cancer stem ce...
