Migration through physical constraints is enabled by MAPK-induced cell softening via actin cytoskeleton re-organization

Cancer cells are softer than the normal cells, and metastatic cells are even softer. These changes in biomechanical properties contribute to cancer progression by facilitating cell movement through physically constraining environments. To identify properties that enabled passage through physical con...
