Researchers Stop Breast Cancer Cells from Spreading by Turning them into Fat
Switzerland (Tasnim) – Researchers were able to coax human breast cancer cells to turn into fat cells in a new proof-of-concept study in mice. To achieve this feat, the team exploited a weird pathway that metastasizing cancer cells have; their results are just a first step, but it’s a truly promising approach. When you cut your finger, or when a fetus grows organs, the epithelium cells begin to look less like themselves, and more ‘fluid’ – changing into a type of stem cell called a mesenchyme and then reforming into whatever…
