The clinical significance is for KRAS-mutant patients -- they don't normally respond to EGFR inhibitors. But if they also have high TGFB signalling, they will potentially respond to EGFR-targeted therapy. 7/n

We thought these other pathways might offer new vulnerabilities that we could exploit with drugs. So that's what we tried in our mouse models. And it worked! 6/n

Q. Why does TGFB activation accelerate tumour growth? A. Because it engages other growth-factor signalling pathways (such as EGFR/MAPK). 5/n
