Tasmanian devil facial tumor-derived extracellular vesicles reveal mesenchymal transition markers and adhesion molecules related to metastasis
2020-10-19
Abstract excerpt
Tasmanian devils are threatened with extinction by Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), which consists of two genetically independent transmissible cancers (DFT1 and DFT2). Both cancers typically cause death due to metastases. However, the mechanisms underpinning DFTD metastasis are not well understood. The nano-sized, membrane-enclosed extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by cancer cells have been implicated in me...
