The extracellular matrix is traditionally regarded as a facilitator of tumor progression, providing an environment in which cells can grow and metastasize. Three new studies take the matrix out of this context and suggest that the microenvironment can not only subsidize, but also initiate, the oncogenic conversion of epithelial cells.

Abstract

The extracellular matrix is traditionally regarded as a facilitator of tumor progression, providing an environment in which cells can grow and metastasize. Three new studies take the matrix out of this context and suggest that the microenvironment can not only subsidize, but also initiate, the oncogenic conversion of epithelial cells.
