“Scientific Wednesday Leveraging CRISPR to Uncover Plexin B2’s Role in Liver Metastasis: A Path to New Cancer Therapies.
A recent study published in Nature Portfolio provides important insights into metastasis. Using a novel in vivo CRISPR activation screen, researchers identified plexin B2 as a key regulator of liver colonization in cancer. This discovery highlights the role of liver-derived signals in metastatic seeding.
