Collective migration of cancer‐associated fibroblasts is enhanced by overexpression of tight junction‐associated proteins claudin‐11 and occludin
8 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) positioned at the desmoplastic areas of various types of cancer are capable of executing a migratory program, characterized by accelerated motility and collective configuration. Since CAFs are reprogrammed derivatives of normal progenitors, including quiescent fibroblasts, we hypothesized that such migratory program could be context-dependent, thus...
