PDGF-B exploits stromal EPO.

摘要

A new study in mice shows that platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) boosts tumor growth by exerting a double function after induction of erythropoietin (EPO) expression from stromal components-a proangiogeneic response in the endothelium and hematopoietic stimulation (pages 100-110).
