VIB-K.U.Leuven Scientists Clear The Way To Alternative Anti-Angiogenic Cancer Therapy

Scientists attached to VIB and K.U.Leuven have succeeded in decoding a potential new anti-cancer mechanism. The researchers discovered that normalizing abnormal tumor blood vessels through HRG (histidine-rich glycoprotein) prevents metastasis of tumor cells and enhances chemotherapy efficiency.

In tumors, vessels formation is disturbed, leading to inefficient delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and
