according to a computational mechanical model. The cytoskeleton, present in all cells, is cellular scaffolding contained within the cytoplasm and made from protein. Previous studies have shown that elevated expression of p38 is associated with lower overall survival of patients with breast cancer. “Taken together, our results offer a detailed characterization of how p38 contributes to breast cancer progression.”
