Provenzano PP et al. – The current data provide compelling evidence for the importance of the mechanical features of the microenvironment, and suggest that mechanotransduction in these cells occurs through a FAK–Rho–ERK signaling network with extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) as a bottleneck through which much of the response to mechanical stimuli is regulated. Increased matrix stiffness explains part of the mechanism behind increased epithelial proliferation and cancer risk in human patients with high breast tissue density.
