A new mechanism driving spread of cancer has been identified.

A protein commonly found in human cells could be an important switch that activates cancer cell metastasis, according to a new study by researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, McGill University and the MUHC. The finding focuses attention on a biological mechanism that until now was largely overlooked. The discovery of the protein’s effect significantly expands the medical community’s understanding of epithelial cancers … Continue reading A new mechanism driving spread of cancer has been identified.
