Research summary

Christian A. Showalter's research examines how cancer cells stick to blood vessel walls, focusing on a molecule called E-selectin that helps circulating tumor cells adhere and potentially spread to new sites (metastasis). Work in this area studies factors such as cholesterol content in cell membranes, microRNAs, and cell-derived particles called exosomes, and how these influence adhesion in lung and breast cancer cells under blood-flow-like conditions. This research is relevant to understanding the biological steps involved in cancer metastasis.
