Explore the biophysical mechanisms driving cancer cell migration and invasion within complex three-dimensional environments. A primary focus is placed on the cytoskeleton, specifically how the structural assembly and dynamic instability of microtubules facilitate cellular shape, mechanical integrity, and signal transduction. The source further examines the mitotic spindle’s role in force generation during cell division and how the mechanical properties of the nucleus can act as physical barriers
