Differential Pattern of Integrin Receptor Expression in Differentiated and Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Cell Lines
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Adhesion of tumor cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a crucial step for the development of metastatic disease and is mediated by specific integrin receptor molecules (IRM). The pattern of metastatic spread differs substantially among the various histotypes of thyroid cancer (TC). However, IRM have only occasionally been characterized in TC until now. IRM expression was investigated in 10 differentiated...
