Cancer cells borrow healthy cells’ tools for moving around, but not in the way scientists expected
Cancer cells and healthy cells both employ the same set of molecular “scissors” to travel through tissues within the body — but they do so using very different processes, according to new findings from the University of Michigan.
Transcription factor can stifle breast cancer suppressing gene
A transcription factor known as Snail1 can act as a “molecular bypass” that diminishes the natural tumor suppressing action of a gene called p53 in breast cancer patients.
Research investments bring potential cancer treatments one step closer
New investments are accelerating an innovative approach to discovering potential cancer treatments that was developed at the LSI.
New discovery approach accelerates identification of potential cancer treatments
LSI researchers have described a new approach to discovering potential cancer treatments that requires a fraction of the time needed for more traditional methods.
