The fibrinolytic system facilitates tumor cell migration across the blood-brain barrier in experimental melanoma brain metastasis
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Patients with metastatic tumors to the brain have a very poor prognosis. Increased metastatic potential has been associated with the fibrinolytic system. We investigated the role of the fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin in tumor cell migra...
