Blocking action of gene enhancers halts spread of tumor cells In one of the first successes of its kind, researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and six other institutions have inhibited the spreading of cancer cells from one part of the body to another. In doing so, they relied on a new model of how cancer metastasizes that emphasizes epigenetics, which examines how genes are turned on and off. In a study published in Nature Medicine, the … Continue reading Researchers inhibit cancer metastases via novel steps
