Inhibition of androgen receptor promotes CXC-chemokine receptor 7-mediated prostate cancer cell survival
Abstract The atypical C-X-C chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) has been implicated in supporting aggressive cancer phenotypes in several cancers including prostate cancer. However, the mechanisms driving overexpression of this receptor in cancer are poorly understood. This study investigates the role of a...
