The complexity of integrins in cancer and new scopes for therapeutic targeting
29 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Cancer is a complex disease and progresses within a dynamically evolving extracellular matrix that controls virtually every aspect of the tumour and tumour-associated cells. Interactions with the extracellular microenvironment are predominately mediated by a family of cell-surface transmembrane receptors called integrins. Integrin-matrix engagement leads to the formation of adhesion plaques, consisting of...
