The involvement of apoptosis in melanoma vasculogenic mimicry

Abstract excerpt

During development, the formation and remodeling of the primary vascular network occurs by vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. In 1999, the concept of vasculogenic mimicry was introduced to describe the unique ability of highly aggressive tumor cells to form a capillary-like structure and a matrix-rich patterned network in three-dimensional culture that mimic the embryonic vasculogenic network. In this study, we...
