Deskripsi

The mechanisms underlying the growth of breast cancer metastasis in the brain are unclear. Here, the authors use an intracranial injection mouse model and single-cell analysis of patient circulating tumour cells to demonstrate that increased hypoxic and HIF1A signalling promotes tumour growth in the brain.
