Activin signaling is an essential component of the TGF-β induced pro-metastatic phenotype in colorectal cancer

Abstract Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a critical health care challenge worldwide. Various TGF-β superfamily members are important in colorectal cancer metastasis, but their signaling effects and predictive value have only been assessed in isolation. Here, we examine cross-regulation and...
