Tenascin. An Extracellular Matrix Protein in Cell Growth, Adhesion and Cancer (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Tenascin, a recently characterized extracellular matrix (ECM) protein which is expressed during embryonic and fetal development, wound healing and various benign and malignant tumors (but highly restricted in normal adult tissues) is believed to affect a number of cellular functions such as cellular growth, differentiation, adhesion and motility. It has been extensively studied in recent years to elucidate cellular phenomena that are associated with development, tissue regeneration and neoplastic growth and behavior. It may be a potential target in the treatment of cancers and other disorders. This book focuses mainly on tissue expression and the poorly known biological role of this ECM protein.
