Loss of transforming growth factor-β type II receptor promotes metastatic head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma

Lu, Shi-Long, Herrington, Heather, Reh, Douglas, Weber, Stephen, Bornstein, Sophia, Wang, Donna, ...

The prognosis of head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has not been improved in the past 20 years. Validation of HNSCC biomarkers for targeted therapy has been hindered by a lack of animal...
