EPDR1 Is a Non-canonical Effector of Insulin-Mediated Angiogenesis Regulated by an Endothelial-Specific TGF-β Receptor Complex
Scientists reported a distinct crosstalk between the insulin receptor and endoglin/activin receptor-like kinase 1, an endothelial cell-specific TGF-β receptor complex essential for angiogenesis.
[Oncogenesis] By using both mouse and human TNBC cell lines, investigators found that diltiazem decreased colony formation and cell migration in breast cancer cells.
[Nature Cell Biology] Researchers discovered that a C2H2 zinc finger protein, ZNF827, is strongly induced during various contexts of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including in brain development and breast cancer metastasis.
[Molecular Therapy Oncolytics] In an ex vivoassay, the size of freshly isolated human breast cancer tissues, including ER-positive & negative as well as HER2-positive & negative, was reduced by YS49-treated mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived conditioned medium.
