Tumour initiated purinergic signalling promotes cardiomyocyte RBFOX1 degradation and cardiotoxicity from DNA damaging anticancer agents [PDF]

Nature Communications
It is well established tumour cells secrete signalling factors affecting distant normal tissues. What remains unresolved is whether these factors initiate a signalling cascade rendering terminally differentiated cardiomyocytes susceptible to apoptosis, a
