Lung-Derived Selectins Enhance Metastatic Behavior of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells
The lung is one of the deadliest sites of breast cancer metastasis, particularly for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We have previously shown that the lung produces several soluble factors that may enhance the metastatic behavior of TNBC, including E-, L-, and P-selectin. In this paper, we hyp...

The lung is one of the deadliest sites of breast cancer metastasis, particularly for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
