A Novel Function for Galectin-7: Promoting Tumorigenesis by Up-regulating<i>MMP-9</i>Gene Expression
15 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Metastasis is a multistep process by which cancer cells, after acquiring several capabilities, spread to distinct sites in the body. It is the major cause of death in individuals suffering from cancer. We have recently identified galectin-7 as a new gene associated with the progression of T cell lymphoma toward a metastatic phenotype, suggesting a possible causal relationship.
