Cell invasion is exhibited by both normal cells as well as cancerous cells in response to specific external signals, including chemical and mechanical stimuli. During invasion, extracellular matrix is enzymatically degraded by cellular proteases before cells migrate to the new location. Cell invasion is required for normal processes such as wound repair, vasculature formation and the inflammatory response as well as the abnormal invasion of tissues by tumor cells during metastasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Safety Datasheet for this product has been updated for certain countries.
