The team found that a protein known as Sonic Hedgehog induces DNA damage, which causes the cancer to develop. This important breakthrough is published in the journal Developmental Cell. Sonic Hedgehog belongs to a family of proteins that … Continue reading New discovery could prevent the development of brain tumours in children.
