Previous research has shown that some cancer cells dodge death by consuming a bit of themselves, thus essentially sleeping through radiation or chemotherapy and later returning as tougher, resistant disease. Interfering with a single cancer-promoting protein and its receptor can turn this resistance mechanism into lethal, runaway self-cannibalization, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report in the journal iCell Reports/i."Prolactin ...Sunday 6 April 2014
Cancer Cells can be Forced to Self-Destruct by Jamming a Protein Signal
Previous research has shown that some cancer cells dodge death by consuming a bit of themselves, thus essentially sleeping through radiation or chemotherapy and later returning as tougher, resistant disease. Interfering with a single cancer-promoting protein and its receptor can turn this resistance mechanism into lethal, runaway self-cannibalization, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center report in the journal iCell Reports/i."Prolactin ...
