IDIBELL researcher Oriol Casanovas publishes a commentary about anti-angiogenic therapies in Journal of Clinical Investigation
Casanovas stresses that these findings may be very clinically relevant, and that therapies that combine inhibition of more than one angiogenic pathway might be useful in circumventing resistance. In late 2010, the agency Thomson Reuters, in its report Science Watch, stressed a study coordinated by Oriol Casanovas about the negative consequences of antiangiogenic therapies as […]
