The spread of cancer cells from their primary tumor site to other areas of the body is the cause for more than 90 percent of cancer-related deaths. A new study has identified how an important gene helps cancer cells break-free from the primary tumor. A gene normally involved in the regulation of embryonic development can trigger the transition of cells into more mobile types that can spread without regard for the normal biological controls that restrict metastasis, ...Thursday 18 December 2014
A Gene That Escalates Breast Cancer Cells
