ICAM1 initiates CTC cluster formation and trans-endothelial migration in lung metastasis of breast cancer
Circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters are more efficient at mediating metastasis as compared to single cells and are associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer. Here, the authors show that ICAM1 is enriched in CTC clusters and its loss suppresses cell-cell interaction and CTC cluster formation,...
