Inhibition of the glycolytic activator PFKFB3 in endothelium induces tumor vessel normalization, impairs metastasis, and improves chemotherapy
AR Cantelmo, LC Conradi, A Brajic, J Goveia… - Cancer cell, 2016 - cell.com
Abnormal tumor vessels promote metastasis and impair chemotherapy. Hence, tumor vessel
normalization (TVN) is emerging as an anti-cancer treatment. Here, we show that tumor …
