Mina J. Bissell mainly investigates Cell biology, Extracellular matrix, Cancer research, Epithelium and Basement membrane. Her work deals with themes such as Cell culture, Morphogenesis, Matrix metalloproteinase and Cellular differentiation, which intersect with Cell biology. The concepts of her Extracellular matrix study are interwoven with issues in Gene expression, Molecular biology, Integrin, Signal transduction and Regulation of gene expression.

Her Cancer research research includes elements of Cancer cell, Cancer, Metastasis, Immunology and Pathology. Mina J. Bissell has included themes like Basal lamina and Secretion, Biochemistry in her Epithelium study. Her Basement membrane study combines topics in areas such as Laminin, Apoptosis, Fibronectin, Tight junction and Cell polarity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Tumour exosome integrins determine organotropic metastasis (2329 citations)
  • Putting tumours in context (1790 citations)
  • Reversion of the Malignant Phenotype of Human Breast Cells in Three-Dimensional Culture and In Vivo by Integrin Blocking Antibodies (1263 citations)
