In a recent report published in Cancer Discovery we identified a novel vulnerability of cancer cells that have undergone an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and established that the PERK branch of the unfolded protein response is constitutively activated upon EMT. In this commentary, we summarize and provide context for our findings.
在最近发表于《癌症发现》的一份报告中,我们发现了经历上皮-间质转化(EMT)的癌细胞的一种新弱点,并证实未折叠蛋白反应的PERK分支在EMT过程中被持续激活。在这篇评论中,我们总结并阐述了我们的研究发现。
