Targeting the AXL signaling pathway in ovarian cancer

Abstract

In a recent publication in <i>Science Signaling</i>, we showed that a Mes molecular subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) harboring epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) features has a unique signaling network downstream of the GAS6/AXL pathway. Our finding leads to a potential strategy for treating the Mes subtype of EOC by targeting AXL.
