Exosome-delivered EGFR regulates liver microenvironment to promote gastric cancer liver metastasis

EGFR signalling has been linked to cancer development but whether it has any role in pre-metastatic niche formation is not known. Here the authors show that gastric cancer cells send EGFR through exosomes to the liver where it causes the establishment of a favourable microenvironment thus promoting...
