CHANGES IN A GIANT ICEBERG CREATED FROM THE COLLAPSE OF THE LARSEN C ICE SHELF, ANTARCTIC PENINSULA, DERIVED FROM SENTINEL-1 AND CRYOSAT-2 DATA

Changes in a Giant Iceberg Created from the Collapse of the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, Derived from Sentinel-1 and CryoSat-2 Data

The giant tabular iceberg A68 broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, in July 2017.The evolution of A68 would have been affected by both the Larsen C Ice Shelf, the surrounding sea ice, and the nearby shallow seafloor.In this study, we analyze the initial evolution of iceberg A68A—the largest originating from A68—in

Collagen XVI induces expression of MMP9 via modulation of AP-1 transcription factors and facilitates invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Collagen XVI belongs to the family of fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACIT).It is overexpressed during the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).The present data show a strong collagen XVI-dependent induction of MMP9 and an increase in OSCC cell invasion.We found activated integrin-linked kinase (ILK) in a
