Analysis of integrins and cell adhesion on invasive tumor cell lines using an in vitro invasion assay
Little is known about the mechanisms which cause tumor cells to become invasive. For this thesis an in vitro tumor cell invasion assay was developed and used to investigate the role of a family of cell surface receptors, called integrins, in the invasion of tumor cells across basement membranes. It...
