Abstract:
Intermedin can promote tumor angiogenesis through a variety of signaling pathways. Hypoxia of tumor cells can induce an increased expression of intermedin. Recently, there have been a surge of researches on the relation between intermedin and tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. Intermedin may be a new target for tumor therapy.
