Anti-metastatic drug target identification

Majority of cancer related deaths occur due to metastasis. However, current regimens of anti-cancer drugs do not have anti-metastatic/anti-invasion drugs. Gain of motility through EMT is the common feature of invading cancer cells and actomyosin based contractility is one of the common denominators underlying motility. Actomyosin cortex provides the link between membrane plasticity and cellular contractility.
