This study shows that cutaneous inflammation accelerates the expansion of premalignant melanocytes with oncogenic mutations in a mouse model.

This study identifies an atypical EMT induced by TGF-β in lung adenocarcinoma metastatic progenitors that reduces biomechanical stiffness, enabling evasion of immune surveillance during dormancy.

This study shows how cancer cell stiffness, influenced by environmental rigidity, affects immune response and metastatic site selection in mice and patients.
