The Experimental Pathology Laboratory is able to screen molecules that are selectively cytotoxic to tumor cells, defining the main pathways by which these cells die. We also determine whether these treatments cause a change in the pattern of migration, invasion, and cellular adhesion, in the clonogenic capacity and the involvement of the MMPs 2 and 9 in these processes. Then, because of the worrying about the ethical use of animals in research, we are using alternative methods in vivo tests.
