Abstract excerpt
Cell-matrix interactions play an important role in the maintenance of cell shape, supposed to be mediated by the anchorage of cellular cytoskeleton to extracellular matrix via matrix receptors. In this work the expression of one of the known matrix receptors, syndecan, was studied during the hormone-induced change in the phenotype of Shionogi 115 (S115) mouse mammary tumor cells. In the presence of testosterone,...
