Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cellular and molecular mechanisms that mediate interactions between tumour cells and the surrounding bone stroma are to date largely undetermined in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of alpha 6 and beta 1 integrin subunits in mediating tumour-stromal interactions. METHODS: Utilising 3D in vitro assays we evaluated and compared 1. Monocultures of...
