Wiktionary

  1. anoikisnoun

    The form of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, that occurs when a cell becomes dislodged from its matrix

Wikipedia

  1. Anoikis

    Anoikis is a form of programmed cell death that occurs in anchorage-dependent cells when they detach from the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Usually cells stay close to the tissue to which they belong since the communication between proximal cells as well as between cells and ECM provide essential signals for growth or survival. When cells are detached from the ECM, there is a loss of normal cell–matrix interactions, and they may undergo anoikis. However, metastatic tumor cells may escape from anoikis and invade other organs.

When cells are detached from the ECM, i.e. there is a loss of normal cell–matrix interactions, they may undergo anoikis. However, metastatic tumor cells may escape from anoikis and invade other organs.
