Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA-Damaged Binding protein 2 (DDB2) is a protein involved in the early step of Nucleotide Excision Repair. Recently, it has been reported that DDB2 is involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), key process in tumour invasiveness and metastasis formation. However, its role is not completely known. METHODS: Boyden chamber and cell adhesion assays, and ICELLigence analysis were performed to...
