Over the past 10 years it has become apparent that invasion and metastasis are extremely complex processes; neoplastic cells must escape from the primary tumor, degrade the extracellular matrix, migrate to distant sites, arrest in the capillaries, and migrate through the basement membrane and underl

## Abstract MicroRNAs have emerged as a novel class of noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the postβtranslational level in almost every biological event. A large body of evidence indicates that microRNAs regulate the expression of different genes that play an important role in cancer ce
## 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
Collagenases are a family of metalloproteinases which may play a role in facilitating tumor cell invasion of the extracellular matrix. Tumor cells traverse two types of extracellular matrix: basement membranes and interstitial stroma, at multiple stages of the metastatic process. The matrix is a den
The exact role that bone marrow (BM)-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play in tumor neovascularization is heavily debated. We develop a quantitative three-compartment model with predictive power regarding the dynamics of tumorigenesis. There are two distinct processes by which tumor neova
