Researchers identify new role for cytokine VEGFA in the metastasis of neuroblastoma.

Healthy bone is continuously involved in a dynamic process that includes bone deposition and bone resorption. However, when a person has cancer that spreads to the bone and bone marrow, the tissue becomes increasingly fragile, and this process is disrupted, usually leading to increased bone resorption. Now investigators at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and the University of Southern California reported a surprising discovery, when neuroblastoma … Continue reading Researchers identify new role for cytokine VEGFA in the metastasis of neuroblastoma.
