A prototypic matricellular protein in the tumor microenvironment—Where there's SPARC, there's fire
5 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Within the tumor microenvironment is a dynamic exchange between cancer cells and their surrounding stroma. This complex biologic system requires carefully designed models to understand the role of its stromal components in carcinogenesis, tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is a prototypic matricellular protein at the center of this exchange. Two...
