WDR5 inhibition halts metastasis dissemination by repressing the mesenchymal phenotype of breast cancer cells

Abstract Background Development of metastases and drug resistance are still a challenge for a successful systemic treatment in breast cancer (BC) patients. One of the mechanisms that confer metastatic properties to the cell relies in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, both EMT...
