Tumors are held together by a structure called the extracellular matrix (ECM) that acts like the scaffolding around a ...

Understanding the process of extracellular matrix proteolysis was one of our early goals, and we found that ovarian cancer cells produce potent matrix-degrading proteases. 2 Our studies on aging and ...

Treatment resistance and relapse in the most common type of lung cancer can be traced to a protein called agrin, according to ...

recruit tumor-associated macrophages and endothelial cells, and remodel the extracellular matrix. Tumor cells acquire genetic and epigenetic lesions that promote escape from their tissue of origin.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

By using tiny, naturally occurring particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs), they have created a way to boost the body’s immune system to fight tumors more effectively. This breakthrough ...
