Abstract excerpt
Epithelial carcinoma cells require penetration of the basement membrane (BM) to metastasize. The BM is a thin layer of extracellular matrix beneath epithelial and endothelial tissues. It acts as a structural barrier, preventing cancer cells from invading and undergoing endocytosis and exocytosis. Thus, understanding the relationship between the BM and tumor immunity can lead to new strategies for halting cancer...
