Distribution of Collagen Type IV α1-6 Chains and MMP in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Destruction of basement membrane is an important element in invasion of cancer cells. Type IV collagen, the major component of basement membrane has six distinct α chains. Matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) are enzymes that can resolve extracellular matrix. In this study, we investigated the localizati...
