Abstract
The tumor environment consists of tumor-associated cells, such as macrophages, fibroblasts, and extracellular matrix, and has an important impact on tumor progression. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Samuel et al. show that ROCK-driven actomyosin contractility increases tissue stiffness affecting epidermal homeostasis, as well as tumor growth and progression.Entities:
