The Spemann organizer gene, <i>Goosecoid</i> , promotes tumor metastasis
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
The process of invasion and metastasis during tumor progression is often reminiscent of cell migration events occurring during embryonic development. We hypothesized that genes controlling cellular changes in the Spemann organizer at gastrulation might be reactivated in tumors. The Goosecoid homeobox transcription factor is a known executer of cell migration from the Spemann organizer. We found that indeed...
