Mathematical modelling of cancer invasion: The role of membrane-bound matrix metalloproteinases
One of the hallmarks of cancer growth and metastatic spread is the process of local invasion of the surrounding tissue. Cancer cells achieve protease- dependent invasion by the secretion of enzymes involved in proteolysis. These overly-expressed proteolytic enzymes then proceed to degrade the host t...
