Pleased to present our latest research at @ecmcongress in #Copenhagen and discuss the role of #ECM remodeling in cancer progression. Our work explores how modulation of ECM dynamics and cellular plasticity may influence melanoma behavior and metastasis.

Excited to share our new paper in Science Translational Medicine! In our work we identified the ECM as a potential target to treat metastatic melanoma by targeting LOX and HSP70 with biselective LOX-propeptide decoys. Congrats to @irit_irit @LevyCarmit @LabSagi @MatrxBiomeLab
