Treatment with MLCK inhibitors resulted in marked reduction of invasiveness, which was principally due to impaired cellular motility, whereas the ability to survive and proliferate, to adhere to matrix, and to secrete gelatinases were minimally affected. © 2003 Nature Publishing Group.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyArticleSCOPUS10.1038/sj.pcan.4500663
