A recent study conducted at the University of Lubeck in Germany has provided new insights into the role of the F-actin bundler SWAP-70 in tumor metastasis. The researchers found that SWAP-70 plays a key role in promoting lung and bone metastasis in breast and lung cancer models. They also discovered that SWAP-70 is involved in various metastasis-related cell features, such as cell growth, migration, adhesion, and invasion. Additionally, the study revealed that SWAP-70 negatively modulates tumor cell stiffness and deformability. This research highlights SWAP-70 as a previously unknown F-actin modulator that contributes significantly to tumor metastasis. [Extracted from the article]
