S100A4 Monoclonal Antibody for Therapeutic and Diagnostic Use
Cancer metastasis are responsible for ~90% of cancer associated deaths. Recent studies suggest that immune cells play critical roles in promoting metastasis, especially myeloid cells from the bone marrow. UTHealth researchers, with researchers from The Methodist Hospital, observed a highly conserved expression of S100A4 in immune suppressive myeloid...
