Deskripsi

Miran Rada et al. identify a key role for RUNX1 in liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. They show that RUNX1 is necessary for driving blood vessel co-option from surrounding liver tissue and that regulation of this process relies on a signaling feedback loop between RUNX1 transcriptional target TSP1 in tumor cells and TGFβ1 in the liver.
