About
Agnete S. T. Engelsen is a leading cancer researcher whose work focuses on the tumor microenvironment, epithelial plasticity, and the mechanisms driving therapy resistance. Her most cited study, "Microenvironment-Induced Non-sporadic Expression of the AXL and cKIT Receptors Are Related to Epithelial Plasticity and Drug Resistance" (2018, 25 citations), provides groundbreaking evidence that specific microenvironments can impose non-sporadic expression of key proteins like AXL and cKIT, challenging the prevailing view that drug tolerance arises only from rare, sporadic cancer cells. This work reveals how the tumor milieu actively drives epithelial plasticity and resistance, offering new targets for therapeutic intervention. Engelsen’s research has significant implications for understanding how cancers evade treatment, and her findings have been widely cited by peers exploring epigenetic mechanisms in drug resistance. Her contributions are shaping the future of personalized oncology, emphasizing the critical role of the microenvironment in cancer progression and treatment failure.
