Published in 2017 at "Oncotarget"

DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.14647

Abstract: Platelet-activating factor receptor (PAFR) promotes tumorigenesis, angiogenesis and metastasis. Here, we defined the PAFR as a yielding new inhibiting target to selectively enhance the sensitivity of prostate cancer (PCa) cells to radiation. The selective responding… read more here.
