Nectin-3 is a new biomarker that mediates the upregulation of MMP2 and MMP9 in ovarian cancer cells
Nectin-3 is a cell adhesion molecule that functions in tight junctions. Recent reports have implicated nectin-3 in pancreatic adenocarcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma. However, there has been little exploration of the expression, cellular invasion and migration of nectin-3 in ovarian cancer (OC). We e...
