Abstract
Malignant, neoplastic cell populations are characterized by their autonomous growth, invasiveness and metastatic activity. These features, like normal cellular activities, are all dependant on the interaction between the cells and their microenvironment. The cell membrane therefore constitutes a crucial biological structure in neoplastic cell behaviour.
