CB2 Receptor Activation Inhibits Melanoma Cell Transmigration through the Blood-Brain Barrier

CB2 Receptor Activation Inhibits Melanoma Cell Transmigration through the Blood-Brain Barrier

During parenchymal brain metastasis formation tumor cells need to migrate through cerebral endothelial cells, which form the morphological basis of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The mechanisms of extravasation of tumor cells are highly uncharacterized, but in some aspects recapitulate the diapedesi...
