The regulation of type I collagen gene expression in stromal fibroblast by breast tumour cells

Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 110-135). === Recent studies have revealed that interactions between tumour cells and the surrounding stroma play an important role in facilitating tumour growth and invasion. Stromal fibroblasts produce most of the extracellular mat...
