Deskripsi

Intravital imaging reveals macrophage-driven de novo induction of cancer stem cells in vivo, and their dramatic enrichment on dissemination through TMEM doorways. These findings provide a mechanism for the validated ability of TMEM doorway density to be prognostic for distant recurrence of metastatic tumors in breast cancer patients.
