MIF-Induced Mesenchymal Marker in Pancreatic Cancer
| Title: | MIF-Induced Mesenchymal Marker in Pancreatic Cancer |
|---|---|
| Description: |
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) enhances disease aggressiveness and the metastatic potential of pancreatic cancer cells by inducing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This image, obtained with confocal microscopy, shows enhanced vimentin expression (pink), a mesenchymal marker, in pancreatic cancer cells stably overexpressing MIF. This image was originally submitted as part of the 2015 NCI Cancer Close Up project. |
