Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiological functions of the signaling molecules matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) and integrin αvβ3 in various types of cancer are believed to derive from their collaborative activity in promoting invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis, as shown in vitro and in vivo The two effectors act in concert in a cell-specific manner through the localization of pro-MMP-2 to the cell surface, where it is...
