Endovascular progenitors infiltrate melanomas and differentiate towards a variety of vascular beds promoting tumor metastasis
28 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Tumor vascularization is a hallmark of cancer central to disease progression and metastasis. Current anti-angiogenic therapies have limited success prompting the need to better understand the cellular origin of tumor vessels. Using fate-mapping analysis of endothelial cell populations in melanoma, we report the very early infiltration of endovascular progenitors (EVP) in growing tumors. These cells harbored...
