Abstract excerpt
This study compared phenotype and behaviour of seven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines and normal epithelial cells. Indications were found that in HNSCC cells: 1) loss of the cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin was correlated with loss of epithelioid cell morphology but...
