The extracellular matrix is a structure composed of many molecules, including fibrillar (types
I, II, III, V, XI, XXIV, XXVII) and non-fibrillar collagens (mainly basement membrane collagens …

Evidence is increasing on the crucial role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in breast cancer
progression, invasion and metastasis with almost all mortality cases owing to metastasis …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of highly variable and dynamic components that
regulate cell behavior. The protein composition and physical properties of the ECM govern …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is increasingly recognized as an important regulator in breast
cancer. ECM in breast cancer development features numerous changes in composition and …

Solid tumors are complex organ-like structures that consist not only of tumor cells but also of
vasculature, extracellular matrix (ECM), stromal, and immune cells. Often, this tumor …

The extracellular matrix in the healthy breast has an important tumor suppressive role,
whereas the abnormal ECM in tumors can promote aggressiveness, and has been linked to …

Increasing evidence shows that the extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important regulator of
breast cancer (BC). The ECM comprises of highly variable and dynamic components …

Several evidences support the concept that cancer development and progression are not
entirely cancer cell-autonomous processes, but may be influenced, and possibly driven, by …
