    Research Areas:
    Metastasis is a step in advanced cancer development that is lethal as cancer cells often spread to bone. The current understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of bone metastasis is still not clear. Pratap is investigating cellular and molecular events during bone and cancer cell interactions that influence cancer cell survival during metastases. His team combines genetics, molecular, biochemical and cell biological approaches to address two aspects of bone metastasis: growth factor signaling and cancer cell metabolism.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
