Discovery Of Molecule That Controls Tumor Vessel Maturation Could Lead To More Effective Cancer Drugs

Aug 14, 2012

Sanford-Burnham researchers discover molecule that controls tumor vessel maturation -- a counterintuitive approach that could improve cancer drug delivery To survive, tumors need blood supply to provide them with nutrients and oxygen. To get that supply, cancer cells stimulate new blood vessel growth - a process called tumor angiogenesis... Read More
