VEGF-C induced by TGF- β1 signaling in gastric cancer enhances tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis
Abstract Background The role of TGF-β1 in lymph node metastasis and lymphangiogenesis, one of the most important steps of gastric cancer dissemination, is largely unknown. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of TGF-β1 signaling and its molecular mechanisms involved in lymphangiogenesi...
