    specific targeting of the Axl/Gas6 signaling pathway may represent a potential new approach for glioma treatment
    cancerangiogenesis 
    additive effect of AXL inhibition with anti-VEGF suggests that blocking AXL function might be a useful approach for enhancing antiangiogenic therapy and warrant further investigation
