Breaking Down Barriers to Chemoresistance: Role of Chemotherapy-Induced Osteoblastic Jagged1

Publication date: 11 December 2017

Author(s): Khalid S. Mohammad, Theresa A. Guise
Bone metastases are incurable. The bone microenvironment has always been a suspect for this clinical enigma, but the exact mechanisms have been unclear. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Zheng and colleagues provide evidence that chemotherapy itself induces chemoresistance of bone metastases, mediated by osteoblast Jagged1-induced tumor Notch signaling.
