## Abstract Astrocytes are intimately involved in the mechanisms of neural injury and repair. They participate in a variety of homeostatic functions and elicit repair responses as balance mechanisms. Currently, there is a growing appreciation of a more active role of astrocytes in neuronal signalin

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-I (TIMP-I) is known to have at least 2 distinct types of activity, i.e., as a regulator of collagenolytic activity, and erythroid potentiating activity (EPA). In this study, we examined the expression of TIMP-I in human mammary carcinomas, non-malignant breast
Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential step in tumour invasion and metastasis. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) each have different substrate specificities within the ECM and are important in its degradation. MMP activity is dependent on the levels of activated MMP and tis
Tumor-stromal interactions have been suggested to be a critical factor in both tumor invasion and tumor metastasis. Here, we examined the role of tumor-stromal interactions using co-cultures of prostate cancer (PC) cells derived from primary and metastatic tumors with primary or immortalized stromal
