Extracellular matrix endocytosis in controlling matrix turnover and beyond: emerging roles in cancer
15 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of secreted proteins that, beyond providing support for tissues and organs, is involved in the regulation of a variety of cell functions, including cell proliferation, polarity, migration and oncogenic transformation. ECM homeostasis is maintained through a tightly controlled balance between synthesis, deposition and degradation. While the role of metalloproteases in...
