Separation of breast cancer and organ microenvironment transcriptomes in metastases
6 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The seed and soil hypothesis was proposed over a century ago to describe why cancer cells (seeds) grow in certain organs (soil). Since then, the genetic properties that define the cancer cells have been heavily investigated; however, genomic mediators within the organ microenvironment that mediate successful metastatic growth are less understood. These studies sought to identify cancer- and...
