Abstract

Yu-An Chen et al characterize the role of cell surface epitopes of the tumor suppressor protein WWOX in cell–cell recognition. The find that cells expressing functional WWOX, repel cancer cells which express dysfunctional WWOX or lack this protein, in a manner mediated by WWOX epitope 286-299.
