The Roles of Tissue Rigidity and Its Underlying Mechanisms in Promoting Tumor Growth.

abstract：:Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death with a 5-year survival less than 5 percent despite rigorous interventions. This largely is due to its late presentation, aggressive metastasis, and a lack of effective adjuvant therapies. Cytokines have been studied in many tumor types, where they have been...
