The development and use of a model system to study the role of gap junctions in the extravasation of breast cancer cells - by Najeeb Maroof Halabi
Abstract
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been detected between metastatic tumor cells (El-sabban and Pauli, 1991) and endothelial cells. However, the role of GJIC in extravastion is poorly defined. In order to study this phenomemon we develop
