How Does the Cytoskeleton Influence Cancer Cell Behavior?
In cancer, the cytoskeleton is often restructured to promote tumorigenesis and metastasis. The reorganization of actin filaments and microtubules facilitates changes in cell morphology, enabling cancer cells to invade surrounding tissues and migrate to distant sites. These alterations are driven by changes in the expression and activity of cytoskeletal proteins, as well as interactions with cell signaling pathways.
