A protein recently linked to cancer has a significant effect on the spreading the cancer, but lowering the protein level in cell cultures and mice reduces the spread of cancer beyond tumor, suggests a new research. The team of medical and engineering researchers at The Ohio State University previously determined that modifying a single gene to reduce this protein''s level in breast cancer cells lowered the cells'' ability to migrate away from the tumor site.
