3Novices: New Study Suggests that a Protein Drives Spread of Epithelial Cancer Cells

A protein, called DENND2B, commonly found in human cells can be an important switch that activates cancer cell metastasis, revealed researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital. This discovery significantly expands the understanding of epithelial cancers such as breast and lung cancer. The researchers examined the function of a protein called DENND2B. During childhood development, DENND2B was found to play a role in the normal migration of cells. ...
