Funded Activity Summary

The use of high-density (HD) matrix to study cell invasion sets precedence in mimicking the HD breast tissue condition that pose a real cancer risk. Cell invasion promotes the spread of cancer causing organ failures and death. The aims of this project are to determine the molecular mechanisms and to isolate new regulatory markers of cell invasion into HD matrix. Putative markers will be confirmed by investigating their expression levels in tissue arrays of 195 breast cancer samples.
