Mechanical Stimulation Modulates Osteocyte Regulation of Cancer Cell Phenotype

Breast and prostate cancers preferentially metastasise to bone tissue, with metastatic lesions forming in the skeletons of most patients. On arriving in bone tissue, disseminated tumour cells enter a mechanical microenvironment that is substantially different to that of the primary tumour and is lar...
