Low Oxygen Conditions Initiate Chain of Events Where Breast Cancer Cells Endure Transformation
Low oxygen conditions, which often persist inside tumors, are sufficient to initiate a molecular chain of events that transforms breast cancer cells from being rigid and stationery to mobile and invasive, discovers biologists at The Johns Hopkins University. Their evidence, published online in iProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences/i on Dec. 9, underlines the importance of hypoxia-inducible factors in promoting breast cancer metastasis.
