HAX1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Another study demonstrated that HS-1 protein X-1 (HAX1), a major regulator of myeloid homeostasis, was present in EVs secreted by nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumors, promoting an angiogenesis phenotype by activating the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) pathway in ECs by increasing the expression level of integrin subunit beta 6 (ITGB6) [70].
