Study shows that vitamin D influences the behavior of a signaling pathway within melanoma cells, which slowed down their growth and stopped them spreading …
Read Full ArticleScientists identify protein that promotes brain metastasis
A protein that breast, lung and other cancers use to promote their spread–or metastasis–to the brain, has been identified. …
Read Full ArticleStudy shows how circulating tumor cells target distant organs
Study reveals that brain-invading breast cancer cells circulating in the blood have a molecular signature indicating specific organ preferences. …
