Understanding Cancer Cell Communication to Infer a Strategy to Inhibit Tumor Cell Migration from thescientistllc on Vimeo.
After a period of uncontrolled proliferation, subsets of primary tumor cells undergo functional phenotypic changes that increase migration and drive metastasis. This webinar sponsored by IsoPlexis will discuss how a unique synergistic paracrine signaling pathway promotes cell migration and causes cancer cells to break away from a tumor and spread throughout the body. Denis Wirtz will highlight how discovering metastasis initiators by cytokine profiling helped researchers develop a potential therapy that inhibits metastasis and improves cancer patient outcomes.
