Filopodia-mediated basement membrane assembly at pre-invasive tumor boundaries
2021-10-22
Abstract excerpt
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a pre-invasive stage of breast cancer, where the tumor is encapsulated by a basement membrane (BM). At the invasive phase, the BM barrier is compromised enabling tumor cells to escape into the surrounding stroma. The molecular mechanisms that establish and maintain an epithelial BM barrier in vivo are poorly understood. Myosin-X (MYO10) is a filopodia-inducing motor protein impli...
