Abstract:Persistence in a dormant state of residual tumor cells can occur following extended periods of clinical remission which may last decades. The disseminated tumor cells in distant organ sites eventually gain context dependent metastasis advantage during tumor progression. The mechanisms for dormancy induction or reactivation remain unclear. We found that the abrogation of myeloid TGF-β signaling induced tumor dormancy in breast cancer metastasis models. When given extended time, the TGFβRIImyeKO mice eventually … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
