Collagen density promotes mammary tumor initiation and progression

Paolo P Provenzano, David R Inman, Kevin W Eliceiri, Justin G Knittel, Long Yan, Curtis T Rueden, John G White, Patricia J Keely BMC Medicine 2008, 6:11 (28 April 2008)

Increased stromal collagen density in mouse mammary tissue increases both tumor formation and tumor cell invasive and migratory properties by three fold; furthermore, a metabolic signature for flavin adenine dinucleotide is identified in invading metastatic cells.
