The functional autocrine loop constituted by coexpression of the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase (TK) and its ligand stem cell factor was first reported in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors and cell ...
To determine whether autocrine mechanisms are implicated in the tumor microenvironment after intermittent exposure to chemotherapeutic drugs and enhance breast CSC phenotypes, we treated breast cancer ...
In a previous study, we reported that 8 out of 32 HMCLs were able to form spontaneous colonies without the addition of serum or growth factors, suggesting that autocrine growth factors or pathways ...
