## Abstract Proteolytic cleavage of extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical regulator of many physiological and pathological events. It affects fundamental processes such as cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and migration. Most proteases are produced as inactive proenzymes that undergo prote
Adenomatoid tumors of the tunica albuginea of the testis is rarely seen. Only 15 such cases have been described. A patient is presented in whom such a tumor was found and excised through a scrotal incision. He is alive and well 27 years later. The author presents reasons for the type of scrotal expl
## Abstract Proteolytic cleavage of extracellular matrix (ECM) and disruption of tissue architecture are fundamental features of tumor cell invasion. The proteolytic activity is focused in close proximity to the tumor cells. Here, we describe the possibility to quantify local proteolytic activity i
