CD47 Receptor Globally Regulates Metabolic Pathways That Control Resistance to Ionizing Radiation
2 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Modulating tissue responses to stress is an important therapeutic objective. Oxidative and genotoxic stresses caused by ionizing radiation are detrimental to healthy tissues but beneficial for treatment of cancer. CD47 is a signaling receptor for thrombospondin-1 and an attractive therapeutic target because blocking CD47 signaling protects normal tissues while sensitizing tumors to ionizing radiation. Here we...
