Special RNA shown to suppress the formation of breast cancer cells

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The development of breast cancer often originates from epithelial cells in the mammary gland—the very cells that specialize in milk production during and after pregnancy.

Study identifies strategy to avoid resistance to cancer therapy

Resistance to therapies is one of the obstacles to overcome in cancer treatments. Understanding the mechanisms of this resistance is essential to design strategies that favor tumor cell death. A study led by the Protein Kinases ...
