Active Remodeling of Capillary Endothelium via Cancer Cell–Derived MMP9 Promotes Metastatic Brain Colonization

Tracking single extravasating cancer cells using multimodal correlative microscopy uncovers a brain seeding mechanism involving endothelial remodeling driven by cancer cell-derived MMP9, which might enable the development of approaches to prevent brain metastasis.
