Abstract excerpt
Adhesion molecules are intimately involved in the process of tumour progression. Among them, E-selectin is an inducible endothelial cell adhesion molecule that plays a role in the interactions of neoplastic cells with the endothelium. These interactions are required for the trans-endothelial migration of tumour cells that leads to the growth at the new sites. Since the detailed events in the early phase of...
