Tenascin-C modulates tumor stroma and monocyte/macrophage recruitment but not tumor growth or metastasis in a mouse strain with spontaneous mammary cancer
15 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
The local growth of tumors and their ability to metastasize are crucially dependent on their interactions with the surrounding extracellular matrix. Tenascin-C (TNC) is an extracellular matrix protein which is highly expressed during development, tissue repair and cancer. Despite the high levels of TNC in the stroma of primary and metastatic tumors, the function of TNC is not known. In the present study we have...
