title: The role of the plasminogen activation cascade in glioma cell invasion: a review.
abstract: Tumour cell invasion is a dynamic process that depends on a co-ordinated series of biochemical events. This review discusses the role of the proteolytic enzyme system, the plasminogen activation cascade, in glioma cell invasion.
