Abstract excerpt
The cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-1 is induced in stromal fibroblasts of breast carcinomas and participates in a reciprocal feedback loop, which stimulates carcinoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo. To define the molecular mechanism of carcinoma growth stimulation, a three-dimensional co-culture model was developed that combines T47D breast carcinoma cells with immortalized human mammary...
