## Abstract Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG), the major green tea polyphenol, can reach the brain following oral intake and could thus act as an anti‐tumoral agent targeting several key steps of brain cancer cells invasive activity. Because integrin‐mediated extracellular matrix recognition is cru

## Abstract Green tea infusion has been shown to inhibit metastatic spreading of the transgenic adenocarcinoma of mouse prostate (TRAMP). Investigation on the molecular mechanisms triggered by the main green tea flavonoid, (−)epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG), shows that EGCG restrains TRAMP‐C1 cel
## Abstract Prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) is a serine‐protease that, in addition to cleaving semenogelins in the seminal coagulum, is able to cleave extracellular matrix glycoproteins, thereby affecting cell migration and metastasis. We here report some new activities of PSA that deserve careful
## Abstract It is increasingly evident that the stromal cells are involved in key metastatic processes of melanoma and some malignant solid tumors. (−)‐Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate (EGCG), a polyphenolic compound from green tea, has been shown to have anti‐tumor activity, inhibiting adhesion, migrati
