Happy to share our latest publication from the @iiscbangalore @RamrayB, now available online and featured on the cover of @biointerphases. This cool and highly interesting paper focuses on the proteoglycan Decorin and its role in ovarian cancer progression.
On our latest cover, we feature research from Indian Institute of Technology studying the role of the proteoglycan Decorin in regulating ovarian cancer progression. Glycosaminoglycan chains in Decorin are crucial to its role fighting invasive cells. šŸ’Ŗ doi.org/10.1116/6.0004725
