Protein Preps Cells to Survive Stress of Chemotherapy
Researchers have uncovered a survival mechanism that occurs in breast cells that have just turned premalignant-cells on the cusp between normalcy and cancers-which may lead to new methods of stopping tumors. In their iMolecular Cell/i study, the Salk Institute researchers report that a protein known as transforming growth factor beta (TGF-I), considered a tumor suppressor in early cancer development, can actually promote cancer once a cell drifts into a pre-cancerous ...
