## Abstract We examined the expression of two groups of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), stromelysin and interstitial collagenase, in human skin cancer by northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. Stromelyins‐3 (ST‐3) mRNA was overexpressed more than tenfold in 17 of 19 (89%) specimens of

## Abstract Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), an autosomal dominant disorder, is characterized by the development of numerous cutaneous basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). To better characterize this disorder, we examined the expression of matrix metalloproteinase‐3 (MMP‐3; also known as stro
The plasminogen activating system plays a key role in the cascade of tumour-associated proteolysis leading to extracellular matrix degradation and stromal invasion. Changes in the expression of this system, consisting of urokinase-and tissue-type plasminogen activators (uPA and tPA, respectively), p
## Abstract The Delta/Notch signalling system is involved in several developmental processes. During fly neurogenesis, __Delta__ expression defines the fate of neuronal precursors and inhibits neighboring __Notch__‐expressing cells from acquiring a neural fate, a process known as __lateral inhibiti
## Abstract In patients with early head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), occult lymph node metastasis is difficult to predict by clinical or pathological parameters. However, such parameters are necessary to select patients either for elective neck dissection or the sentinel lymph node (SL
