title: Matricellular proteins at the crossroad of inflammation and cancer.
abstract: Some proteins of the extracellular matrix known as matricellular proteins have regulatory function in all aspects of physiological and pathological stroma rearrangement. Many aspects of their activity are related to inflammation and immune response suggesting their role in bridging inflammation and cancer.
