Myofibroblasts from salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinomas promote cancer invasion by expressing <scp>MMP</scp>2 and <scp>CXCL</scp>12

Abstract

This study demonstrated the presence of myofibroblasts in ACC. Myofibroblasts might be related to the aggressive growth behaviour of ACC, owing to their high levels of expression of MMP2 and CXCL12.
