Abstract
Tumor progression and metastasis are complex processes, which involve several changes in the tumor cells and microenvironment. Increase of migratory capacity and resistance of death are the first characteristics observed. Several evidences suggest a possible role to myosin Va in tumor progression and apoptosis. Data from our laboratory indicate that myosin-Va is upregulated in metastatic …
