Summary
The tumor microenvironment plays a key role in malignant tumor progression. As a place where tumor cells survive, the tumor microenvironment contains not only biochemical but biophysical elements. Tumor cells can sense the extracellular microenvironment, which in turn affects the intracellular behaviors. Cytoskeleton is a structure highly involved in pathological process following a series of complex cellular-biological events called invasion–metastasis cascades. Therefore, the interplay between the extracellular and intracellular tumor microenvironment as well as its underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated.
This special issue aims to synthesize insights on biochemical and biophysical tumor microenvironment. We welcome submissions of original research articles, review papers, communications, perspectives, commentaries that cover the recent advances in all aspects of tumor microenvironment and cytoskeleton network.
Topic include but are not limited to the following:
• Biochemical and biophysical tumor microenvironment,
• Interplay between tumor cells and extracellular microenvironment,
• Intracellular signal transductions,
• Cytoskeletal dynamics,
• Nucleus deformation and repair,
• Tumor multidrug resistance
