BACKGROUND: Contradictory reports exist concerning the role of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor A1166C polymorphism as a coronary risk factor. Moreover, it is unknown whether the A1166C polymorphism is associated with thrombotic complications…

BACKGROUND: In epithelial and endothelial cells, detachment from the matrix results in anoikis, a form of apoptosis, whereas stromal and cancer cells are often anchorage independent. The classical anoikis model is based on static 3D epithelial cell…
