    Intravital imaging reveals systemic ezrin inhibition impedes cancer cell migration and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer

    Limited understanding of the cancer biology of metastatic sites is a major factor contributing to poor outcomes in cancer patients. The regional lymph nodes are the most common site of metastasis in most solid...

    A novel role for ezrin in breast cancer angio/lymphangiogenesis

    Recent evidence suggests that tumour lymphangiogenesis promotes lymph node metastasis, a major prognostic factor for survival of breast cancer patients. However, signaling mechanisms involved in tumour-induced...

    Ezrin phosphorylation on tyrosine 477 regulates invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells

    The membrane cytoskeletal crosslinker, ezrin, a member of the ERM family of proteins, is frequently over-expressed in human breast cancers, and is required for motility and invasion of epithelial cells. Our gr...

    A novel activating role of SRC and STAT3 on HGF transcription in human breast cancer cells

    We have previously determined that the HGF promoter can be transactivated by a combination of activated Src and wild-type Stat3 in the mouse breast cell lines HC11 and SP1. To determine if this pathway is of r...

    The membrane cytoskeletal crosslinker ezrin is required for metastasis of breast carcinoma cells

    The membrane cytoskeletal crosslinker ezrin participates in several functions including cell adhesion, motility and cell survival, and there is increasing evidence that it regulates tumour progression. However...

    Tumor specific antigens induced by mutagens and DNA hypomethylating agents: implications for the immunobiology of neoplasia

    The effusive enthusiasm that characterized so much of tumor immunology research during the 1960’s and 1970’s has gradually given way to a widespread and pervasive cynicism. One could cite many reasons for this...
