Oncogenic Signaling Alters Cell Shape and Mechanics to Facilitate Cell Division under Confinement

To divide in a tissue, both normal and cancer cells become spherical and mechanically stiffen as they enter mitosis. We investigated the effect of oncogene activation on this process in normal epithelial cells. We found that short-term induction of oncogenic Ras(V12) activates downstream mitogen-act...
