Brief description Solid tumours are stiffer than normal tissues. This stiffness is caused by over-production of non-cellular components known as extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM creates a barrier that restricts drug access in tumours. New methods to overcome tumour stiffness are crucial to improve drug delivery. We will study the use of a new compound to degrade tumour ECM to improve anti-cancer drug delivery. Our compound will be useful in treatment-resistant solid tumours such as breast and liver cancers.
