Don't Fence Me In: How Cancer Cells Divide in Crowded Spaces

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial

Abstract

Cells in our body have to divide within a defined tissue space, which in tumors is more restricted than in normal tissue. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Matthews et al. (2020) reveal that oncogenic RasV12-mediated cell rounding and cortical stiffening promote cell division under confined conditions that are similar to those in tumors.
