Lessons from border cell migration in the <i>Drosophila</i> ovary: A role for myosin VI in dissemination of human ovarian cancer
14 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Dissemination of ovarian cancer is a major clinical challenge and is poorly understood at the molecular level due to a lack of suitable experimental models. During normal development of the Drosophila ovary, a dynamic process called border cell migration occurs that resembles the migratory behavior of human ovarian cancer cells. In this study, we found that myosin VI, a motor protein that regulates border cell...
