MMP14 in Sarcoma: A Regulator of Tumor Microenvironment Communication in Connective Tissues
28 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
Sarcomas are deadly malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin occurring at all ages. The expression and function of the membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase MMP14 is closely related to the mesenchymal cell phenotype, and it is highly expressed in most sarcomas.
