🚨 PERSEPCTIVE 🚨

TGFβ has a well-established role in cancer, yet its blockade has 🔁ly failed in trials. Barcellos-Hoff & Yom use HPV-driven cancers as a model to explain these discrepancies & emphasize the need for refined strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Revisiting the TGFβ paradox: insights from HPV-driven cancer and the DNA damage response - Nature Reviews Cancer
Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) has a well-established role in malignancy and its inhibition has demonstrated strong preclinical activity. However, TGFβ blockade has repeatedly failed in clinical trials. Here, Barcellos-Hoff and Yom utilize human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven cancer as a model to explain these discrepancies and emphasize the need for refined strategies and understanding of TGFβ signalling to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
