Thrombomodulin facilitates melanoma progression via FAK- and ezrin-mediated phenotypic plasticity
TM promotes melanoma cell plasticity and VM through FAK- and ezrin-dependent pathways. These findings position TM as a key regulator of tumor progression and suggest that targeting TM may offer a novel therapeutic strategy to disrupt cancer cell plasticity and suppress melanoma growth.
