FGFR4 is overexpressed in a highly aggressive GBM subgroup, associated with tumor recurrence. |
|
Inactivation of FGFR4 reduces proliferative capacity and promotes cell death. |
FGFR4 inactivation attenuates GBM cell migration, endothelial invasion, and adhesion. |
FGFR4 blockade results in loss of GBM cell adhesion and sensitizes towards the |
FGFR4 impacts on tumorigenicity and tumor growth. PHENOTYPE:
