title: Maspin is a tumour suppressor that inhibits breast cancer tumour metastasis in vivo.
abstract: Maspin is a member of the serpin family of serine proteases and functions as a tumour suppressor. A study using a new syngeneic mouse model for breast cancer suggests that maspin can inhibit metastasis in vivo.
