CD36 Promotes Vasculogenic Mimicry in Melanoma by Mediating Adhesion to the Extracellular Matrix
2021-05-18
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> The formation of blood vessels within solid tumors directly contributes to cancer growth and metastasis. Until recently, tumor vasculature was thought to occur exclusively via endothelial cell (EC) lined structures (i.e. angiogenesis), but a second source of tumor vasculature arises from the cancer cells themselves, a process known as vasculogenic mimicry (VM)....
