Collagen type VI‑α1 and 2 repress the proliferation, migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells
7 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
The bladder cancer (BCa) microenvironment comprises heterogeneous tumor cell populations, the surrounding stroma and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen, the scaffold of the tumor microenvironment, regulates ECM remodeling to promote tumor infiltration, angiogenesis, invasion and migration.
