Anti-CD47 immunotherapy as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of breast cancer brain metastasis

J. D. Mackert, E. R. Stirling, A. S. Wilson, B. Westwood, D. Zhao, H.-W. Lo, L. J. Metheny-Barlow, K. L. Cook, G. J. Lesser, D. R. Soto-Pantoja

This study shows that blocking CD47 reduces brain metastasis in breast cancer by enhancing immune response and altering tumor microenvironment signaling.

A Novel Model of Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis with Antiestrogen Responsiveness

K. L. Langsten, L. Shi, A. S. Wilson, B. Westwood, M. T. Xie, V. E. Surratt, J. Turner, R. Singh, K. L. Cook, B. A. Kerr

This paper develops an immunocompetent ER+ breast cancer mouse model with spontaneous bone metastasis and antiestrogen responsiveness, showing treatment efficacy with tamoxifen and fulvestrant.
