Abstract excerpt
Considerable evidence now exists to support an important role for the E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion pathway as a suppressor of the invasive phenotype in adenocarcinoma cells. Previous studies have found that this pathway is frequently aberrant in prostate cancers, particularly those that...
