  3. 3. The RECK gene and invasive cancer development : the significance of RECK in angiogenesis and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Michelle Alexius Lindgren; [2014]
    Keywords : Reck gene; invasive cancer; development;

    Abstract : The RECK gene is a relatively new discovered gene with important implications for cancer research. The research has been primarily concentrated on the human gene with the ultimate aim to identify the invasive characteristics. Up regulated RECK is linked to significantly prolonged survival rates in patients with severe forms of malignancies. READ MORE
