Tumor-derived exosomes are emerging as mediators of tumorigenesis with a tissue-specific address and message. We explored the function of melanoma-derived exosomes in formation of primary tumors and metastatic progression in both murine models and patients. Whereas exosomes from highly metastatic me...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
Despite being expressed in most tissues, a number of mammalian process-specific transcriptional regulators, such as those involved in cell cycle and immune responses, often have profound tissue-specific phenotypes. The mechanism underlying this effect is poorly understood. We chose to investigate ...

Stephen Paget first proposed, in 1889, that organ distribution of metastases is a non-random event, yet metastatic organotropism remains one of the greatest mysteries in cancer biology. Here, we demonstrate that exosomes released by lung-, liver- and brain-tropic tumor cells fuse preferentially with...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Homologous sets of transcription factors direct conserved tissue-specific transcription, yet transcription factor binding events diverge rapidly between closely related species. We used hepatocytes from a Down syndrome mouse model containing human chromosome 21 to determine whether human genetic se...
