How does extracellular matrix lead to control of cancer cells?

Can We Stop Cancer from Spreading? The Secret Perhaps Lies in the Extracellular Matrix! Cancer spreads when cells move through their environment, but the extracellular matrix (ECM)—a network of proteins —can either help or hinder this process. Cancer manipulates fibroblast cells to break down this matrix, clearing a path to spread. Let's explore how!
