Article Synopsis
  • * This study identifies the overexpression of TAM receptors (TYRO3, AXL, MERTK) and the ligand GAS6 in tumor cells from patients, revealing new interactions between these receptors in meningioma and schwannoma tissues.
  • * Researchers found that inhibiting MERTK with UNC2025 and AXL with BGB324 reduced cell growth and survival in vitro, with UNC2025 proving more effective and also depleting tumor-associated macrophages in both tumor types.
