  1. 1. Matrix metalloproteases and cell motility in malignant mesothelioma

    Författare :Zhiwen Liu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Matrix; metalloproteases MMPs ; cell motility; growth factors; malignant mesothelioma; invasion;

    Sammanfattning : Invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor cells requires destruction of and migration through extracellular matrix (ECM) such as basement membrane and interstitial stroma. The ECM-degrading proteases produced by tumor cells and stromal cells and cell motility play a crucial role in this process. LÄS MER
