Abstract

The increased stiffness of a tumor triggers a multitude of responses that aid cancer cell dissemination. Stiffness-induced expression of CCN1 mediates autocrine signaling in the endothelium to upregulate N-Cadherin levels. This permits more stable interactions with cancer cells and increases their ability to spread into the circulation.
