In vivo trafficking of cancer-derived exosomes and their role in metastasis by Shih-Yen Wei, Sarah E. Shelton, Ying-Chieh Chen, Ke Huang

“…This process is driven by a combination of biological processes including invasion, intravasation, circulation, extravasation, and colonization of distant organs, among which cancer cell-derived exosomes facilitate metastasis through their enriched oncogenic miRNAs and lncRNAs to enhance cancer cell migration and invasion, promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition in recipient cells, help cancer cells evade immune detection, and alter the microenvironment to promote the formation of a pre-metastatic niche. …”

Chemokine (C-X-C) Ligand 12 Facilitates Trafficking of Donor Spermatogonial Stem Cells by Zhiyv Niu, Shaun M. Goodyear, Mary R. Avarbock, Ralph L. Brinster

“…Rather, in vitro migration assays demonstrate the influence of CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling in promoting germ cell migration. Together, these studies suggest that CXCR4-CXCL12 signaling functions to promote homing of SSCs towards the stem cell niche and plays a critical role in reestablishing spermatogenesis.…”
