Hyaluronan Functions in Wound Repair That Are Captured to Fuel Breast Cancer Progression

Signaling from an actively remodeling extracellular matrix (ECM) has emerged as a critical factor in regulating both the repair of tissue injuries and the progression of diseases such as metastatic cancer. Hyaluronan (HA) is a major component of the ECM that normally functions in tissue injury to se...
