Abstract

Bone metastases are incurable. The bone microenvironment has always been a suspect for this clinical enigma, but the exact mechanisms have been unclear. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Zheng and colleagues provide evidence that chemotherapy itself induces chemoresistance of bone metastases, mediated by osteoblast Jagged1-induced tumor Notch signaling.
