September 2005
Stroma: Environmental issues
Rac1b and reactive oxygen species mediate stromelysin-1/matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), increased cell motility and invasiveness.
Original research paper: Nature 436, 123-127
(2005)Migration: Anchors away!
Drosophila border cells are transiently capped with basement membrane proteins which are rapidly shed prior to the initiation of migration.
Original research paper: Development 132, 3069-3077
(2005)Cancer: A bad influence
Rac1b and reactive oxygen species mediate stromelysin-1/matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), increased cell motility and invasiveness.
