The outgrowth of metastatic cells to bone depends on the interaction between multiple intrinsic and host factors. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Sethi and colleagues report Notch signaling in bone cells as responsible for promoting this outgrowth and provide evidence for a beneficial treatment effect of NOTCH inhibitors.
转移细胞在骨骼中的生长依赖于多种内在和宿主因素之间的相互作用。在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,Sethi 及其同事报道了骨细胞中的 Notch 信号通路在促进这种生长中的作用,并为 NOTCH 抑制剂的有益治疗效果提供了证据。
