Chemotaxis–Haptotaxis System

Abstract Cancer invasion and metastasis are influenced by a plethora of biochemical processes involve many mechanisms, among which chemotaxis haptotaxis two the main mechanisms directing migration cancer cells Chaplain Lolas (2005). Evidence has been found that release complex enzymes such as urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), degrade surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby allow following concentration gradient diffusive enzymes. This process is referred to (2006).
