Researchers identify new epigenetic pathway driving breast cancer progression.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have uncovered how the body’s inflammatory response can alter how estrogen promotes the growth of breast cancer cells.  The researchers have identified how a combination of signaling molecules inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells, improving clinical outcomes for some subtypes of breast cancers.  The opensource study is published in Molecular Cell. The combination, the steroid hormone estradiol and … Continue reading Researchers identify new epigenetic pathway driving breast cancer progression.
