VEGF Drives Cancer-Initiating Stem Cells Through VEGFR-2/Stat3 Signaling to Upregulate Myc and Sox2

TL;DR: High-VEGF tumors may be most likely to escape anti-angiogenics by upregulating VEGF, driving CSC self-renewal to re-populate post-treatment, and highlights the need to better define V EGF-driven cancer subsets and supports further investigation of combined therapeutic blockade of VEGFR-2 and JAK2/STAT3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cleavage of Fibrinogen by Proteinases Elicits Allergic Responses Through Toll-Like Receptor 4

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TLR4 is activated by airway proteinase activity to initiate both allergic airway disease and antifungal immunity, which clarifies the molecular basis of allergic disease and suggest new therapeutic strategies.
