Cell Changes that Affect Breast Cancer Growth

In order to fight cancer, you must know as much as you can about the molecular workings of cancer growth. Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shown how small, radically imperceptible structural changes in a key breast cancer receptor are directly linked to regulating molecules and can produce predictable effects in curbing or accelerating cancer growth. Published recently in the journal Molecular Systems Biology, this predictive statistical approach moves science one step closer to the development of more effective structure-based drug design to treat this disease. One of their long-term goals …read more
