Dynein-Powered Cell Locomotion Guides Metastasis of Breast Cancer

Metastasis of cancer cells is the primary cause of death in cancer patients and continues to be one of the most difficult clinical problems. There are many theories about how metastasis occurs, but the main aspects have been linked to a protein complex, actomyosin, that plays a role in muscle contraction. Actomyosin-driven locomotion depends on…
