Journal ArticleDOI

Putting tumours in context

TL;DR: In this article, the interactions between cancer cells and their micro-and macro-environment create a context that promotes tumour growth and protects it from immune attack, and the functional association of cancer cells with their surrounding tissues forms a new 'organ' that changes as malignancy progresses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rac1b and reactive oxygen species mediate MMP-3-induced EMT and genomic instability

TL;DR: These findings identify a previously undescribed pathway in which a component of the breast tumour microenvironment alters cellular structure in culture and tissue structure in vivo, leading to malignant transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The organizing principle: microenvironmental influences in the normal and malignant breast.

TL;DR: A considerable body of evidence now shows that cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are essential organizing principles that help define the nature of the tissue context, and play a crucial role in regulating homeostasis and tissue specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix Metalloproteinase-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Recent studies showing how M MPs activate EMT in mammary gland development and in breast cancer, and how MMPs mediate breast cancer cell motility, invasion, and EMT-driven breast cancer progression are summarized are summarized and approaches to inhibit these MMP-mediated malignant processes are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition

TL;DR: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an orchestrated series of events in which cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions are altered to release epithelial cells from the surrounding tissue and the cytoskeleton is reorganized to confer the ability to move through a three-dimensional environment.
