Architecture Is the Message: The role of extracellular matrix and 3-D structure in tissue-specific gene expression and breast cancer.
I was honored to deliver the 2(nd) Stanley Korsmeyer memorial Lecture on May 9(th), 2007 in Padova, Italy. Stan will always occupy a very special place in my heart: I admired him greatly not only for his magnificent and original science but also for his integrity and his grace. This review, which summarizes my laboratory's contribution to cell and cancer biology in the last 30 years, is dedicated to Stan's memory, and to Elaine Fuchs, one of my most cherished friends without whose support this work would not have gained the degree of recognition it enjoys today. My thanks also to the Pezcoller Foundation for making that week in May, 2007 one of the most memorable in my scientific life.
