Abstract excerpt
A metastatic rat bladder carcinoma cell line, M-NBT-II, produces and secretes a dissociating factor called SFL, whereas the tumorigenic parental cell line from which it originated (E-NBT-II) does not. In this work, we report that SFL production is correlated with an invasive phenotype in three-di...
