Spatio-selective activation of nuclear translocation of YAP with light directs invasion of cancer cell spheroids

Summary: The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix strongly influence tumor progression and invasion. Yes-associated protein (YAP) has been shown to be a key regulator of this process translating mechanical cues from the extracellular matrix into intracellular signals. Despite its appare...
