Vascular Channel Formation by Human Melanoma Cells in Vivo and in Vitro: Vasculogenic Mimicry

TL;DR: It is suggested that aggressive melanoma cells may generate vascular channels that facilitate tumor perfusion independent of tumor angiogenesis, providing a biomechanical explanation for the generation of microvessels in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maspin, a serpin with tumor-suppressing activity in human mammary epithelial cells

TL;DR: Results support the hypothesis that maspin functions as a tumor suppressor and reduce the cells' ability to induce tumors and metastasize in nude mice and to invade through a basement membrane matrix in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vasculogenic mimicry and tumour-cell plasticity: lessons from melanoma

TL;DR: The gene expression profile of aggressive cutaneous and uveal melanoma cells resembles that of an undifferentiated, embryonic-like cell as mentioned in this paper, which has been termed "vasculogenic mimicry".
Journal ArticleDOI

Vasculogenic Mimicry and Tumor Angiogenesis

TL;DR: The unique patterning characteristic of vasculogenic mimicry provides an opportunity to design noninvasive imaging techniques to detect highly aggressive neoplasms and their metastases.
