Tenascin-W Is a Novel Stromal Marker in Biliary Tract Cancers [PDF]
Extrahepatic cancers of the biliary system are typically asymptomatic until after metastasis, which contributes to their poor prognosis. Here we examined intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (n = 8), carcinomas of perihilar bile ducts (n = 7), carcinomas of ...

Did Tenascin-C Co-Evolve With the General Immune System of Vertebrates? [PDF]
Tenascin-C plays important roles in immunity. Toll-like receptor 4, integrin α9β1 and chemokines have already been identified as key players in executing the immune regulatory functions of tenascin-C.

Tenascin‐C immobilizes infiltrating T lymphocytes through CXCL12 promoting breast cancer progression [PDF]
Immune checkpoint therapy, where CD8 tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL) are reactivated, is a promising anti‐cancer treatment approach, yet with low response rates. The extracellular matrix, in particular tenascin‐C, may generate barriers for TIL. To

Tenascin-C, a Prognostic Determinant of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Tenascin-C, an adhesion modulatory extracellular matrix molecule, is highly expressed in numerous human malignancies; thus, it may contribute to carcinogenesis and tumor progression. We explored the clinicopathological significance of Tenascin-
