Disease: Malignant neoplasm of breast
Malignant neoplasm of breast
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In this study, we used in vivo and in vitro models of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer to investigate the mechanisms by which EPHA2 ligand-independent signaling promotes tumorigenesis in the absence of its prototypic ligand, ephrin-A1. 26833123 2016
CUI: C0006142
Disease: Malignant neoplasm of breast
