Cell–matrix interactions: focus on proteoglycan–proteinase interplay and pharmacological targeting in cancer

Abstract excerpt

Proteoglycans are major constituents of extracellular matrices, as well as cell surfaces and basement membranes. They play key roles in supporting the dynamic extracellular matrix by generating complex structural networks with other macromolecules and by regulating cellular phenotypes and signaling. It is becoming evident, however, that proteolytic enzymes are required partners for matrix remodeling and for...
