Open AccessNormal cells repel WWOX-negative or -dysfunctional cancer cells via WWOX cell surface epitope 286-299
Metastatic cancer cells are frequently deficient in WWOX protein or express dysfunctional WWOX (designated WWOXd). Here, we determined that functional WWOX-expressing (WWOXf) cells migrate collectively and exp...
