DOI: 10.1002/ijc.32419
Abstract: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a tumor with high chemoresistance and poor prognosis. MPM‐initiating cells (ICs) are known to be drug resistant, but it is unknown if and how stemness‐related pathways determine chemoresistance. Moreover, there… read more here.
