Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) drives migration and vasculogenic mimicry in mesenchymal glioblastoma
Nature ·
The Brief
- A study reports that Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) drives cell migration in mesenchymal glioblastoma.
- The same study reports that NCX1 also drives vasculogenic mimicry, the formation of vessel-like channels by tumour cells.
- The source is a nature.com subject-feed listing with no summary, so further details are unverified.
Why it matters
It identifies NCX1 as a possible driver of tumour invasion and vessel-like channel formation in a glioblastoma subtype, which could make it a candidate for future research on treatment.
