Breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) as one of possible causative factor in cancer!

Never heard much about ECM pathology before. Fascinating.

1/11 "Matrix within cells, the cytoskeleton, and that which surrounds cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM), are connected to one another through a number of receptors including those in primary cilia, serving as an important chemical and physical signaling system."

Susceptibility to sunburns on high n-6 diets:

"UVB and H2O2 induced G2A expression and caused oxidation of linoleate to produce 9-HODE in HaCaT cells. [This] suggests that 9-HODE-G2A signaling plays proinflammatory roles in skin under oxidative conditions."
