Tight Junctions in Cancer Metastasis

Tight Junctions in Cancer Metastasis edited by Tracey A. Martin, Wen G. Jiang.

There has been a dramatic increase in knowledge of tight junctions in the past decade. The molecular structure of tight junctions, cellular functions and the pathophysiological roles of tight junctions are becoming clear. Of the most important functions, the role of the cellular structure in cancer...
