Tumor Vascular Endothelium (TECs)

Target
TECs
Molecular classification
Cell, Endothelial cell, Vascular endothelium
01

Overview

The tumor vascular endothelium comprises morphologically and functionally distinct endothelial cells critical for cancer progression via disordered angiogenesis, increased permeability/leakiness, facilitation of metastasis, immune modulation, and therapy resistance—all driven predominantly by aberrant signaling pathways such as those involving VEGF-A.
