Title: ALK7 erects a suppressive barrier to tumor progression and metastasis
Abstract: Overcoming intrinsic and extrinsic tumor-suppressive barriers is an essential feature of tumor progression. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Michael et al. (2019)use the RIP-Tag mouse model to show that pro-apoptotic signals mediated by the Activin B-ALK7 axis suppress ectopic proliferation and metastasis during pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer development. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
