MYD88 signals induce tumour-initiating cell generation through the NF-κB-HIF-1α activation cascade

Abstract Tumour-promoting inflammation is a hallmark of cancer, and chronic inflammatory disease increases the risk of cancer. In this context, MYD88, a downstream signalling molecule of Toll-like receptors that initiates inflammatory signalling cascades, has a critical role in tumour development in...
