Almost all solid tumors become stiff with progression of cancer. Cancer Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), most abundant stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), are known to mediate the stiffen
The dormancy of cancer stem cells is a major factor leading to drug resistance and a high rate of late recurrence and mortality in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Previously, we demons

The stiffness of the extracellular matrix of gastric tumours reversibly regulates the DNA methylation of the promoter region of the oncogenic Yes-associated protein.
