β-adrenergic signaling modulates breast cancer cell mechanical behaviors through a RhoA-ROCK-myosin II axis

Summary: The ability of cancer cells to deform and generate force is implicated in metastasis. We previously showed that β-adrenergic agonists increase cancer cell stiffness, which was associated with enhanced motility and invasion. Here, we investigate how β-adrenoceptor (βAR) activation alters the...
