Deskripsi

The transcription factor Zeb1 is known to promote tumorigenesis and stemness in breast cancer. Here the authors show that tumor endothelial Jagged1 induces activation of Notch1 signaling and increases Zeb1 expression in neighboring breast cancer stem cells, promoting tumor aggressiveness.
