pubmed:abstractText |
Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) is a tumor angiogenesis process in which highly aggressive melanoma cells form patterned, tubular networks in an in vitro, three-dimensional culture that mimics vasculogenic networks formed by endothelial cells. These cells also express endothelial cell-associated genes such as vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) and are correlated with poor clinical prognosis in patients. However, the molecular underpinnings of this phenomenon remain elusive.
